View, download, and export
Need support with viewing, downloading, and exporting files and folders from your Dropbox account? Find help from the Dropbox Community.
Dropbox apparently introduced new functionality that forces a large preview window every time a file is selected. The vast majority of time this degrades my efficiency in using Dropbox. I can't find a way to turn it off. Please help. I'm on the website (not the mobile app) using MacOS and Safari.
It's extremely obtuse and annoying when I'm trying to select several item, and all of a sudden my screen rearranges itself and 1/3rd becomes unusable.
Hi @Luce_S, I've merged you to this thread, please check the solution on how to disable the quick view on the site.

How do we disable this completely? No Preview at all?
Hello! The "full screen" option will essentially act as disable the feature completely / have not right panel on your browse screen.
Thank you.
Please keep the website as simple as possible.
shouldn't be so hard to find this setting, which is not in settings.
Thanks. Unfortunately that interface isn't in Chrome (my default browser). Looks like it is in Safari.
Hey @rp12, does this help?

This still doesn't work in Chrome - you don't get the option to turn the quick view off; when you click on "Quick View" nothing happens - it just stays active. Please fix, it is useless the way it is now. Thanks
