You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Get rid of preview pane in iPad app!
New iOS version today says I can now get rid of the Preview pane but HOW? Waited so long for this and now I can't work out how to do it!!
Hi Ian,
The feature is still rolling out. You'll see it soon as a X button in the top left of the preview pane.
In early 2018 Dropbox iPad introduced full-width file lists: https://www.engadget.com/2018/04/18/dropbox-ios-full-screen-ipad/. This meant users could finally read file names longer than a dozen characters.
Dropbox iPad 162.2.6 has reverted back to a narrow sidebar file list. Most of my files are PDFs with names dozens of characters long. This latest update has rendered Dropbox essentially useless to me.
Could you restore the full-width file list feature in Dropbox ipad?

Hi JacobDrummond - welcome to the Community!
I'm writing to let you know that I moved your post under this thread as we've had some similar reports lately.
As aforementioned, the team are aware and working on it already.
Whenever I have more to share, I'll make sure to update this thread accordingly.
Thank you for your patience in the meantime Jacob.
[EDIT]: I'm UN-accepting the solution here to avoid confusion.
Same problem here, sorry to say. Using An iPad, 6th generation, and Dropbox Basic, vers 162.2.6. Problem of the dissapearing "X" started last week after installing ipadOS ver 13.1.2 .
Shut down and rebooted 3 or 4 times--no help. Screen orientation doesn't matter.
Available space is 109.91 GB with 17.6 GB used (cant imagine that is a problem).
I use my iPad and Dropbox exclusively in connection with a singing/ukulele-strumming group that does charity gigs at nursing homes, hospitals, etc. Our season is coming up! Hope this gets fixed soon. Thanks.
