Re: How can I adjust the column width on the Dropbox website?

How can I adjust the column width on the Dropbox website?

I cannot find an answer to my problem. I have seen it asked but no answers.

I have a customer that uses Dropbox to share building plans and specifications for me to quote jobs.

The folder names are being cut off so that I cannot read all of the folder information. I cannot find a way to adjust the column width or wrap the text.

 

I am viewing Dropbox / the folders in a Chrome based browser. Below is an example of the problem.

Hey @TonUP, thanks for reaching out to us.

 

If you hover over the column names above your files, you should be able to see the bars (lines) that will allow you to adjust the width of the columns.

 

Can you check again and let me know what you find?

 

If you don't see the options, try from a different browser as well.

 

Keep me posted!

Hannah,

Thank you for the response, but hovering over the column titles doesn't do anything. It doesn't give me any options. I have tried using Brave, Chrome, and Edge with no difference.

It looks like you're viewing a shared link. There is no option to resize the columns when viewing a shared link. You would either need to download the folder and open it on your computer, or save the folder to your own Dropbox account and view it there, where there is an option to resize the columns.
