Rebooting my Mac put the Dropbox icon in the menu bar finally.   It says it's a Beta release.  I didn't ask for a Beta release.  I don't want a Beta release.  Can I please get back to the previous behavior?

 

If I am forced to live with this abomination for now, would it be feasible / advisable to copy the entire ~/Dropbox folder (either the folder itself or its complete contents) onto (or into) the ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox folder?  Then let Dropbox sync its contents in this new location rather then re-download them all?
