Disable folder image preview
Is there a way to prevent a specific folder tile from showing a preview of the images inside it? I have NSFW images inside some subfolders and don't want them visible from the parent folder.
simonDBXMy personal preference would be toggling the collage on/off for individual folders because I have NSFW folders mixed in with regular photo folders. I probably wouldn't use the feature if it could only be toggled on/off for every folder in view.
While I have your attention, I have an additional request for the thumbnail collage feature. Would it be possible to superimpose the collage on top of the default folder icon, like the mockup below?
I often have folders and pictures mixed together, and when I'm visually scanning to find the start of my photos, they all blur together. Having the folder icon visible would make the file type much more clear. I know it's possible to sort the files by "type" which groups all the photos together, but then for some reason it jumbles up the order of individual photos when I need them to be sorted alphabetically.

Dropbox Product Managergem0303 Got it, thank you! I'll take this back to the team and see what we can do to give you more control over what's shown on your folders.
Regarding better visually differentiating between files and folders - appreciate your feedback here as well! We've gotten similar feedback from other users and are currently working on a solution to make it easier to differentiate at a glance. Stay tuned!
I'm with the OP in that this new feature is annoying and makes it very hard to distinguish between files and folders. Plus its not even consistent as I have folders that just show the folder and others with the collage all in the same folder.
