I would also suggest contacting DB support on Twitter (@DropboxSupport) and expressing your frustrations with this pointless change. You can direct message them and they will definitely get it.

      Dropbox support reply.

      In other words: "What are you talking about?" or "Can you please waste more of your time so we can be aware of what is happening in the company we supposedly provide customer support?"

        Everyone: Extensive multi-page thread discussing this issue, with an easy revert solution, amid multiple screenshots and examples of how this change sucks.

        Meanwhile Dropbox: "Could you please send us an example screenshot?"

         

        It's hard not to quit using Dropbox, but it seems that's exactly what Dropbox wants. Smh.
