Click the link on the left side that says "files" you will see the old view. Its the first item under recents.
If you do not see it, then I suspect it is a browser rendering issue. Please try another browser.

I am just a user like yourself and have no inner knowledge of the staffs plans. I would only learn of ways to disable it from other users or my experience with my own account. I merely provided a best work around to the user, to get back to the old web view.
I have, as of yet found no way to disable it. I personally do not prefer it either (as the default). It serves a purpose but usually when I go to the site. I go to manipulate files and don't care for the recents.
For such suggestions on the GUI and/or feature requests its best to talk/submit them to the staff directly @ https://www.dropbox.com/support . They track that stuff an are the ones to act on such information.
Cheers,
