Expand left sidebar width on the website

I need to be able expand the left sidebar width. I have many levels of files and I can not see the names of folders that I want to move files into. Because of the narrowness, all I can see is the first letter of some folders, and none of others!. I want to be able to expand the left sidebar so I can see the names of those folders and not just the first letter. We use DB for work and at third level DB starts cutting off folder names and our names aren't even that long. By the 4th level, where we start putting images/docs by client name, job, or product, I can only see a few letters and it makes keeping stuff organized very difficult.

    Same here. It's SUCH A PAIN when you have a few levels of folders within a main folder. I can't see where I need to move and upload new content to, and it causes many mistakes. Please make the left side bar MUCH more expandable.

    Please extend the maximum width of the left side bar (folders tree). It is absolutely necessary!
