Hi, besides the pre-set expand/collapse function, is it possible to make the left hand navigation panel on my files page wider so the names of my favourites don’t get truncated?  

Thanks

Hi ​@st_rosierose, 

Welcome to Box Community, and thanks for bringing this up!

We totally understand how useful if you could widen the left hand navigation especially on the Favorites section.

 

As of this message, resizing or expanding the left hand navigation in the Box Web-App is a current limitation. Instead, you could hover your cursor to fully display the file or folder name in Favorites. 

 

We’d love to hear your feedback and feature request by upvoting here. Note that we’re continuously working on improving your use of the Box Web-App to make it more easier to navigate.
