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.

Wrap Text for Filenames So They Are Readable
Please, please, please make the text of our file names wrap instead of cutting out the middle so that we can read them without changing our phone to landscape mode. Please… It’s really annoying to on...

Another request that should just plain be a given & shouldn't have to be voted on. Such an obvious problem that needs fixed, especially since modern smartphones are getting (stupidly) narrow & long.
It's almost impossible for us users to find new phones wide enough for a reasonable amount of visual content in vertical mode anymore (or heck, even horizontal, since it makes videos physically much smaller & keyboards take up all the space). It's why I specifically bought an older phone, but the battery will inevitably fail eventually.
So as long as this unfortunate trend continues, app creators need to adapt & find ways for horizontal visual elements (including text) to use more vertical space. Toggle-able wrapping state (with the option staying tappable as users scroll down), & (importantly) keeping which files the user is currently looking at centered if the wrapping is toggled while they've scrolled partway down the list, is now practically essential.
