Alphabet navigation on ipad disappeared

The alphabet navigation disappeared on our ipad os version 16.7.2, dropbox version 362.7.  We rely on that to navigate the numerous files we have.  How do I get it back?

Hello Dropbox gurus- 

i am having a huge problem - the alphabet quick slider in my folders disappeared sometime in the last few weeks. 

I need to jump from file to file quickly, in a live music on-stage performance setting.  I have over 600 files.  Moving quickly is critical to my vocation and success.   I hope you guys can help or release an update with a fix.


I have rebooted and cleared cache. Twice. 
I am using ver. 364.2.4

iPad iOS is 17.2

Here is a screenshot: 

Thanking you in advance for your help…

    1. I do like the new format of having file names wrap so you can see the entire name. The old style of File…name with dots imbedded in the name was quite cumbersome and misleading at times.

    2. It appears that the Alphabet Slider has been replaced with a scroll element (circular with three horizontal bars).

    May I suggest that you give the user an option in Settings to Show Alphabet Slider or Show Scroll Element.

    Thanks,

    Michael
