- Hey people, how are you all doing?
First of all, thanks a lot for your thoughts and comments. They surely help a lot to understand what you want on your end.
Keep in mind that Dropbox remains focused on helping our customers stay organized and work more efficiently. With this focus, we’re simplifying your desktop experience with improvements to Windows Explorer, macOS Finder, and the taskbar/menu bar.
Support for the desktop window ends on January 17, 2022.
Don’t worry—we're continuing to support a great desktop app experience for you and your content is still safe with us.
Save, view, share, and access all your files with the Dropbox folder in Windows Explorer, macOS Finder, the taskbar/menu bar, on dropbox.com, and with the latest iOS and Android apps.
If you need me, give me a shout.

Dropbox StaffHi all!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
We understand that the decision to streamline the desktop experience by focusing only on Finder and the menu bar on Macs and File Explorer and the taskbar on Windows has impacted the way you work with Dropbox on your desktop. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.
I would also like to assure you that your content is still safe and in the same location as it is today. You can continue using our Finder (Mac) and Explorer (Windows) integrations, the icon in the menu bar/taskbar, the Dropbox website or our latest iOS and Android mobile apps to sync and organize your content.
Let us know if you have anything to ask or add.

You've taken away one of my favourite part of Dropbox - but I should be happy because at least you didn't randomly move or delete my files?!
It's a new style of modern business 🤣
