    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.

Displaying this information on the mobile app as a default is a serious information disclosure risk. If I'm going in to show a client something, that last thing I want as a default display is a bunch of thumbnails of images I'm working on for other clients! What the hell were you thinking? There should be a way to completely disable this feature. It simply makes Dropbox unsuitable for business use.

I'm now looking for alternative solutions.
