There's a change in the way files preview with grey boxes around.

Hi there! Dropbox recently updated the preview image experience and there is now grey shadow boxed around all of the image previews. Unfortunately, for individuals such as myself who have to cull through thousands of images a day, this makes it much harder to have a clear preview of the image. Even on the large grid, the images are much smaller with this shadow border. I would love to be able to use the old view.

This change alone has increased my culling time by over 30%!  Yikes! I hope to see a resolution.

 

These are they grey boxes that are also present around each individual image.

I’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

I agree with it too

The new design is terrible for those of us, Image preview should be as big as they used to be in the view of the grid, I hope to see a solution!
