Allow us to show/hide sidebar items on the website

This problem has a relationship to the font scaling on the user's device.  Any users who need larger fonts scale up their default font size, and that makes the sidebar intrusion dramatically worse.  Young users with 20/20 vision can use factory default font scaling, and see enough of the center pane to live with the annoying sidebars,  But older users and anyone who needs to set the default fonts larger will hit the problem I illustrated above in February 2020.

My laptop has default font size set to 114% of normal. And you see the useless center pane that results from that. 

I find the lack of control over the large sidebars extreemly frustrating. File names are continually truncated as a result of the sidebar's inability to be hidden.

This issue has been requested for FIVE years!

Please, please make an update to include hiding/showing the right sidebar.

Thank you.

As of February 2020, there is way too little screen space available for the user to view their actual files. 

Over 20% of the screen is eaten up by the Left Sidebar (Files, My File, Photos, Shared, File Requests, Deleted Files). Over 30% is wasted on the Right Sidebar (Upload files, Upload folder, New folder, New shared folder, Request files, Show deleted files, Rewind, ...)

There is currently no way to re-size or collapse or show/hide either of the offending Sidebars. This leaves us with less than 50% for the center pane where our actual files are displayed. The center pane is all we users care about 80% of the time.

This misguided design is especially punishing when we are working in "List" view. We can't tell one file from another because the filenames are truncated to a ridiculously few characters just so they can be squeezed into that tiny center pane! We use "List" view to quickly scan the files and know what filenames we are looking at. We do *not* want to hover over every truncated filename to see the full name, and then *try* to remember which file was which after the hover window closes.

The current three-pane view looks much like an Adobe Acrobat view, but at least Adobe allows us to hide the side panes, opening up the center screen for actual work.

Come on, Dropbox. I've been with you since 2006, but this flaw is painful enough to send me to one of your competitors if not fixed. 

File display is too small !

This is feedback on the web interface; I find the sidebars include a lot of blank space, which is not great when working in a window.  I would like the option to resize, minimize or even hide them.

If the window is maximized to full screen it's better, and I do see the responsive design if I really shrink the window, but the left side has so much empty and the right side is normally not used when I'm in a plain 'folder' (not a 'space').  The option to tuck it away would be great.

My 2¢ :-)

If you go to https://www.dropbox.com/home the page is divided into three areas: files in the center and two left and right side bars.

The two side bars take a lot of space such that folder/file names in the center are shortened too much. This is very disturbing. I am using Chrome browser.

I would suggest to develop a solution, e.g. to hide/unhide or resize the two side bars.

In the meanwhile, one is forced to either open a single browser window and resize onto two screens, or reduce the font.

Yeah - I get you. Thanks again and please keep sending feedback, really appreciate it (even if I or other Dropbox employees don't reply to it, we read it here!)

Thanks. I know it's possible to hide items via a browser extension by hacking into the CSS, but... rather not have to go that route.

Oh ok. Thanks for sharing. I'll pass your feedback internally. 

I have no other team members. I only have Business for the unlimited storage space.
