    Hey jay27, welcome to our Community.

    This is actually a new change to the website's interface. It hasn't been rolled out to everyone yet, that's why your colleagues don't see it.

    As a workaround, you can use the middle click on your mouse. Simply hover over a file and click the middle button. It should do the trick.

    If you have any questions, let me know.
