View, download, and export
Need support with viewing, downloading, and exporting files and folders from your Dropbox account? Find help from the Dropbox Community.
Suddenly I cannot open and files (documents or photos) in full-screen mode. Instead I get a split screen with the file shown only on the far-right third of the page. Is there some new way to open a file? Or please tell me how to get full view of files on the website.
Can we please stop constantly changing features that seem to work just fine?
First the photo-collage folder thumbails (still not option for that irritating change) and now chopping off our view screen without no notice or (easy) way to figure out how to change to full view.
Moreover, if Dropbox is going to change something, can't Dropbox send subscribers an email or something explaining the changes and how to work with (or without) them instead of ambush and surprise.
Seems like Dropbox makes incessant changes just to satisfy only one type of customer (i.e., not me).
Thanks, Judith
Hey @amcoffice, thanks for reaching out to us on the Dropbox Community.
We really appreciate your comments on this feature and I wanted to let you know that I've passed your feedback to our team.
If you'd like to open your files in full-screen mode, you can simply click on the "open" button at the top right corner of the "quick view" preview and the file will open in full screen.
You can also disable quick view, if you want.
At the top right corner of your "all files" page, you'll see the following button, which will allow you to switch to full-screen previews.
I hope this helps, but let me know if you need anything else!

I have the same issue. Why would they even have a side bar at all? Dropbox is the absolute worst.
