September 2023 iPad app update removed ability to hide the preview pane
If it's still there, they've hidden it really well.
If the preview pane cannot be removed or hidden, then the app is almost useless as you cannot browse longer file names without tapping on each one. That's ridiculous. Seeing thirty of the same file name, and having to click on each one to find the one you're looking for makes the app almost unusable.
I'm not sure why the X isn't showing up there, but if you tap on a file it should appear. Does that work?

Can you share a screenshot? Does it appear if you tap into a preview, but it's missing in the empty / no-preview version?

Hey mwendell, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to our Community!
Could you please clarify your device's exact OS version and the version of the Dropbox mobile app installed there as well?
Does it make any difference if you use the Files app by the way?
Any additional information you can share is more than welcome!
