How can I view the folder activity?

I have Dropbox for Business.  I am looking to see folder activity.  There used to be a way to open the activity pane, but it is not there now.  I tired in both chrome and edge.

 

If I got to a subfolder, click on the three dots on the right, scroll down, and then select folder activity, it does open the activity pane.

 

Any idea how to open the activity pane without doing that?

    Hi @Rinconman, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Could you clarify exactly how you opened the activity pane before, if you weren't clicking on the ellipsis and scrolling down to that option?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

      I have not used it often but thought there was an arrow on the right side that would open the activity pane.

        As far as I'm aware the folder activity usually opens the same way you mentioned above through the ellipsis @Rinconman
