Please help with changing the new view of Dropbox on the desktop.

Please change the way this view is in the pic attached.  Two-thirds of the screen is wasted and valuable real estate is wasted by these buttons.  How do you turn off or remove the following   Search box, all 4 buttons (create, upload, create folder, transfer or copy)  and "suggested" all of these take away space.  I just want to see my files and acess my files.  Or can I change to classic view.

    I too hate the way drobbox is laid out. I cannot see what is in my folders. I do NOT need the stupid skinny far left column and te HOME column is way, way, way to narrow. Dropbox needs to make a change and let US decide the width of the columns that fit OUR needs!

    Why not suggest that over at Ideas | The Dropbox Community? That way others can upvote it if they also agree (you can also see if somebody else has already suggested it first).
