PDF preview using Windows EXplorer
This is for my work account. We use smart sync at work.
Using Windows Explorer if I open a folder I have never been to and there are PDFs present. I will then click on said PDF. A preview pops up...

Dropbox StaffThanks for all your updates here everyone!
Just to confirm, if you make an online only file local through the right click menu (right click > Smart Sync > Local), does the thumbnail show correctly?
Is it only while opening an online only file by double clicking it, or by opening directly from another app, that you no longer see the thumbnail when the file becomes local?
Keep me posted - cheers!

I'm still having the same problem based on all of the feedback suggested ine conversation so far
As you can see I have the preview pane option on, but when I single click on the file, nothing shows up in the preview pane for PDF's and Excel files. Please help!!
This is a huge inconvenience for me as well. I have a large number of work files for which it is necessary to use smart sync. After previewing once, the file syncs locally and is forevermore unable to be previewed. ETA on a fix??
