You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Hide the sidebar for iPad mobile app

On the iPad, the Dropbox sidebar takes too much space to be able to read a document in the remaining screen space. Please add a "collapse" and "restore" button to the inside edge of the sidebar to be able to hide it or show it as necessary.

    Frankly, I can’t figure out why this isn’t already a feature.

    You can hide the iPad app's left pane when previewing a file by tapping on the file preview. Tap the "<" in the top left corner to bring it back.
