Hi Rei3e,
Thank you for sharing this feedback! I work on the product team responsible for this feature. We are now working on a solution that will give users more control over the size of the tiles on grid view. Stay tuned!

Hi Rei3e - we're working on a longer term solution to give users more control over the size of the tiles. But in the short term, would it be helpful if the size of the tiles was overall larger? More similar in size to what they were previously in the large grid view?

Yes, that would be helpful! The image previews used to fill the entire tile, now half of the space is wasted by this gray box frame.
The image previews should be as large as they used to be in the "Large Grid" view, any solution would be appreciated! - Durran6848 months agoNew member | Level 2I’m very confused, 6 months ago you implied you were working to fix this. Now in March my phone auto updated to have this issue on my Dropbox and I have to work through hundreds of images/videos a week and severely messed up my workflow. Is there anyway to revert? Changing the grid options does nothing and changing to list still messes with work flow
