Feedback on the latest desktop version of Dropbox for Windows
Application Affected
Dropbox Windows App (upgrade pushed 2/12/26)
Device
HP Envy x360, Lenovo IdeaPad5, Microsoft Surface Go 4
Operating System/Browser (if using the web)
Windows 11
Dropbox App Version (if using the app)
Version number no longer display in app!
Question or Issue
- the new status window (right-click on icon) is too large. Looks nice, but too much white space, unnecessary icons that cannot be disabled.
- The window does not display properly on Surface Go 4 machine. Window does not position properly, and the bottom is cut off.
- The status window still has the long-standing issue with not closing properly when you click away from the window.
- The icon does not display properly in the tool bar (it is hidden) even when Dropbox is set not to hide. In other words, you reset the user's settings (Rude!)
Overall, this is a fix where there wasn't a problem, creating new bugs that weren't there before. The new design is pretty, but puts form over function, ultimately making the app less useful.
