Still nothing DropBox? I haven't seen one update from the "Team"...but I've seen a lot of comments about how this reduces productivity.
When do the people get to be heard???

Even the Web UI has changed, rendering any Dropbox tutorials to create new file requests inaccurate.
Request Files, definitely not available from Mac Finder right click, or in the side bar menu on web
As previous member mentioned, you can right click, view on dropbox.com, to get to the folder, but even the menu navigation has changed recently
There is no request files in the left sidebar, and when you click the 3 dots, no request files there either.
REQUEST FILES is now hidden under the menu item "Activity"
So 2 options to request files:
1)Go to this URL:
dropbox.com/requests
OR
2) use your finder to select folder and view on dropbox.com
Next to your folder name, Select the Cog Wheel > Activity > Request Files
which takes you to the above URL linked to the folder you've selected
Yikes, why so clunky dropbox?

Right??
There is a third option... sometimes. When you select to View on Dropbox.com, there is a link called Request Files. Some days that option is there. Some days it's not. I've not managed to explain the pattern to myself.
