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

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 new features like this you need to give people the option to turn them off. I don't like it and it's making my user experience cumbersome. Stop making updates without allowing users to turn off the new features. I was fine with the way Dropbox was before. This isn't the firs time an update to the interface has made my job harder.

Hi @hellofrog, thanks for messaging the Community.

 

You can change this option by clicking this option on the right hand side of the main page.

 

 

Does this help in restoring the previous behavior in the browser?

 

This will help me to assist further!

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.

Hey @estherAL, thanks for your post!

 

I moved it to a thread about the feature you wrote about and how to switch it off, so make sure to check it out.

 

Thanks.
