Can I hide the left sidebar showing my folders on the website?
I'm using Dropbox Enterprise as part of a business and at some point in the past few days, the panel showing all the folders on the left side of the window (using desktop) began becoming visible again.
I don't have a very wide browser window and there's no way to adjust the width of the panel on the left side -- is there a way to have that panel disappear or at least shrink in width?
At least a few months ago, there was a way to turn the display of that panel off and on, but I don't see a way to do that anymore and I'd like to hide it again. Any suggestions?
If I can figure out how to upload a screenshot, I'll do that.
Thanks @sander34!
It should work, I'm testing it now on my end as well, but keep in mind that the change you can make is a bit small and it takes about a second to show.
If that's not what you see, I'd suggest checking out from an incognito window or another browser, to see if you get a different behavior.

Hey @sander34, thanks for joining the Dropbox Community.
Since you mentioned a browser window, I assume you're referring to the Dropbox website, right?
I'm afraid there's no way to make that sidebar collapse, but you can hover over the line that divides it from your folder list to adjust the width a bit.
I hope this helps, but if you have any questions, let me know.
Yes, you're correct about the website and what I'm talking about. Unfortunately, when I hover over the line separating the folder list from the main window and when I do that arrows show that seem to indicate that I should be able to adjust the width, but then when I try to adjust the width -- either wider or narrower -- nothing happens. I wonder if something changed with the last update of Chrome, which is what I generally use to access the Dropbox website. Because late last week, the left-side panel wasn't anywhere near as wide as it is now.
