When I click on the Dropbox icon in the system tray, it usually launches the folder. However, as of this morning, both of my computers will not respond when I double click on the Dropbox icon in the system tray. I have to go to the desktop and click on the folder. I would like to be able to click on the icon in the system tray to open the Dropbox folder. Is this still possible?
Dropbox is not opening with a single click or double. Whats going on?

That feature has disappeared! I recommend using a desktop; shortcut to your dropbox-folder.

That feature has not disappeared. Double-clicking the Dropbox icon in the system tray (Windows) or menu bar (Mac) still opens the Dropbox folder. A single-click will open the Dropbox app.
If this isn't happening for you, download the latest release and uninstall/reinstall.
This change to Dropbox essentially ruined it for me.
I can no longer drag a folder to Dropbox. It accepts only individual files.
What were you thinking?
It's true---it's almost unusable now. Can't drag a folder to Dropbox, just individual files. For someone like me, who manipulates a lot of complicated graphics archive, it's a nonstarter now.
