How to adjust the document list width on the IPad app

Is it possible to make the document list wider in the IPad app, if so, how? I can't see the full name of most of my files and I am now at my wits end.
Setting up the apps

    There is a work-around in iOS 11.
    Open DropBox.
    Slide up to see dock. Pick any program on the dock and slide up to create a separate window and then enlarge that window to half screen.
    Now you can see the whole file names.
    Messy, but it works.

Hi there!

Thanks for that feedback!

It's not possible yet to make the file list larger, but I will definitely pass on your message to our engineers so that this can be taken into account in the future development of the app.

Many thanks for sending this feedback :)

    I recently bought an iPad and am horrified to discover there's no way to adjust this.  I've had to use Dropbox via my Chrome browser in order to see what files I want.  Tremendous waste of time.  This comment is nearly two years old.  What gives?
