No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the Dropbox API V2 specification and the thumbnail request flow described in the issue, then determine the API changes and compatibility requirements needed for immediate previews; done means the supported thumbnail behavior is specified and validated.

Description

enhancement

Would be great if DropBox API had fast thumbnails preview like google drive and one Drive.

These load the thumbnails immediately, while in DropBox we must request the thumbnails, generate the files and then display them in our application. With large files this takes a long time.
