How can I change the right-side quick preview on the website?

Regarding the most recent update: PLEASE get rid of the feature that makes document previews pop up on the right side of the screen. It's really annoying and is messing with my workflow. When you add...

The latest update made it so that if you select a file (using the little checkbox, not by actually clicking on the image), it jumps to automatically preview it in a side reader pane. This is absolutely horrible. If you are trying to select a range of files, you can drag to select anymore, and when you select the first one (intending to shift-select the last one in a range), the files then jump because the preview pane opens.
