Hi Octave, thanks a lot for flagging this issue! We've stopped the current experiment we were running for Transfer while we work on improvements based on your feedback, so you should regain access to the familiar legacy UX shortly.

Hi Megan-
One more detail I noticed last night. It is also evident that the animation duration is unnecessary because I consistently get my email notification that I have created a new transfer 5 seconds BEFORE the package loading animation is completed in the Transfer window.
That means that dropbox is sending out an email that I created a new transfer [which contains the link in it], it travels all the way through gmail, and then pushes to my computer 5 seconds before the animation is completed. That is really showing that the animation is unnecessary. 15 seconds of sitting waiting for the animation to finish so I can copy the link feels like a long time when I'm sending my 20th link to clients at 3:30 in the morning.
