I just had a long chat with Dropbox dude. This issue has not been solved. They removed this very useful option and hid it behind 5 clicks (if you know what you're doing). This is a big waste of time and patience for someone working with dropbox files all day long.

It sure is a waste of time!  I don't even bother with the "Open in Finder" option anymore.  It's buried so deep that it's far easier to just use the Mac Dropbox app, search for the file (even using part of a word) and then quickly "Open in Finder" from there.

 

We'll see how long it is until Dropbox gets rid of this very useful feature, too!
