Gallery View
Gallery View is a full-screen view of your current Box that displays all Assets in a browsable grid. It's perfect for getting an overview of your collection, finding specific Assets, and reorganizing your references.

Gallery Modes
Gallery View offers two layout modes for different browsing needs:
Grid View
Structured rows and columns with consistent spacing. Assets are arranged in an even grid, making it easy to scan through your collection systematically.
Masonry View
Staggered columns that maximize space efficiency. Assets flow naturally based on their aspect ratios, creating a Pinterest-style layout.
Switch between modes using the Gallery controls or the context menu.

Gallery View supports multiple ways to navigate through your Assets:
Zoom

Reordering Assets
Rearrange your Assets directly in Gallery View:
