How to disable file auto select after upload
Hello, is there a way to disable file auto selection after it has been uploaded?

Dropbox StaffHey mrBeep - thanks for posting on our Community!
Could you clarify the platform you're noticing this on for us please? Is it on the desktop app, the mobile app or the website?
If it's the website, have you tried clearing your browser's cache or another browser to see if it makes any difference?
Let us know more and we'll take it from there.
It's on a website. Everytime I upload a file or files they are being selected after upload.
I don't want this behaviour. How can I disable this?- Walter
It's not possible to disable this behavior at this time, but thanks for your feedback mrBeep
I've passed it on to the team and you can let us know if you have anything else to add.
Also, if you'd like to elaborate on your use-case and why you'd like to turn off this behavior, we'd appreciate it.
My use case is simple. I don't need auto files selection. I select the files myself when I need to. Moreover when the file or files are selected it opens a preview pane on the right which again I should be able to disable this but it is not possible foran unknown reason. In conclusion please make all automatic behaviors like auto selection and automatic preview pane switchable. Let users decide what should happen not the app.
