Hello, this week I have noticed that when using Dropbox in my web browser, clicking on the names of files or folders no longer automatically opens them. Instead I have to right click and select 'Open in...' and, for example, have every folder I want to access open in a new tab. Was there a change in the program to make this standard? Is there any way I can adjust my settings to not have to go through this extra step? Thanks.

Hi zp8822, thanks for messaging the Community.
There hasn't been any change to the site to my knowledge.
Are you clicking the filename itself, or the blank space next to the file?
This will help me to assist further!
