Opening dropbox folders when clicking on icon doesn't work anymore.

Recently Dropbox removed the feature that opened Windows Explorer when the Dropbox icon was click in the taskbar or app list.  It was an important feature and I spent two hours uninstalling and reinstalling the application thinking it was corrupted.  Please bring that feature back.

    Hey repartist, I hope you're doing well!

     

    Your comments on our app have been quite helpful, and I will do everything I can to ensure that your voice is heard.

     

    I'll forward your feedback to the appropriate areas so we can continue to improve.
     

    In the meantime, have you tried clicking the little Dropbox icon, and then the folder icon on the top right of the assistant tray to see if this works out for you? 

     

    Thanks a bunch!

      I have. Basically Dropbox added an unnecessary step.  I open my Dropbox folder over 10 times a day and removing the Dropbox icon function makes no sense.  My temporary solution was to put a shortcut of the folder on my desktop but my preference is a shortcut on the less crowded taskbar which was the way I was doing it for years until Dropbox changed it
