Spoke to Dropbox support and this might (hopefully) not be intentional and an issue with the latest early release version. If you need to revert, do this:
1 Log in to dropbox.com using your web browser.
2 Click on you account picture/avatar at the top right corner of the page.
3 Click on "Settings".
4 From the "General" tab, scroll down to the section titled "Preferences" and uncheck the box next to "Include me in early releases" if it is checked.That fixed it for me.
I have the same exact problem. It's like dropbox stepped back 5 years. It doesn't show "FOR YOU", "RECENT", and "NOTIFICATIONS" .. .Now it can only pause syncing and open recent files in the desktop. It no longer delivers an easy way to create a link

I absolutely agree. One of the best things they added in the last few years was the search box, which I used constantly as I work out of Dropbox on all my work projects.

Were there any further 'revert to old version' option?Hey Lenny.
You have to download and reinstall the app from the Dropbox download page as well (a simple restart will not do it).
As MarkRM stated - additional step required after disabling this preference is to re-install dropbox as it won't simply revert back to a stable version.
