How to expand the left side column on the website to make it wider?

My left side column is only about an inch wide, it does not seem like I can make it wider.  I cannot see the full name of all of the folders in my Dropbox because the left side column is only about an inch wide.  It used to be I could drag that column to the right to make it wider but Dropbox is not allowing me to do that

    Hey SPop - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

     

    I just gave it a go and I was able to adjust the left side pane's width normally.

     

    Could you clear your browser's cache and/or try another browser and let me know how it goes?

     

    Thanks!

      I tried that and also tried using both Chrome and Safari and the left sidebar won't get any wider than an inch or so

        Hey SPop! Can you also test this out via an incognito window? 

         

        If you try to make the sidebar more narrow instead, does that work or it doesn’t move at all?

         

        I’m just trying to check if it’s at its max width already.
