Dropbox Product ManagerHi Wayne! Thank you so much for sharing this feedback with us. We're actively working on improvements to both of these experiences, based on your feedback. In the meantime, if you right click at the top-level, you should have a "Create folder and share" option. It will redirect you to web to complete the folder creation, but you should be automatically signed in, which hopefully makes it a little less onerous. I will share an update here as we make improvements. Thank you again for your feedback, we really appreciate it!

The fact that this was intentional on the part of Dropbox doesn't make it defendable or something users should simply obediently accept as "in our best interest." It was an arrogant, short-sighted move, and one you should promptly correct. You're outside the "prompt" window already since I posted the initial feedback over a month ago. What should we expect and when? Thank you.
