We store all of our product photos on Dropbox. Our account does not have beta testing enabled and I cannot find any information on this update. Dropbox, if you are going to have all folders that contain only photos appear with file previews PLEASE give the option to opt out. I name my folders so that I know what's in them, I don't need to see the first three pictures in the folder. Going through folders and photos is so much more chaotic with the folder icons appearing as a cluster of photos. I talked with Dropbox Support and they said there is no way to turn this feature off, but it is absolutely maddening.

I agree...obviously.  The randon photo-collage thumbnails unhelpful and (even worse) distracting.  Bring back the plain blue folders or at least make it an option.

    I'm chiming it regarding the images too! If we can't turn them off, at least let us pick what the cover is. This random pile of images mixed with just blue folders is so distracting. I DO NOT want to work in list view. Please fix this!!

      I also prefer a plain folder graphic for simplicity and ease of use, as others have already stated.

        I don't get the image for folder thumbnails, is this desktop only? I am using Android, and would actually prefer to have photos to help remember what is in each location.
