    This was a devastating feature to remove. I used file request every day for work. Adding the step of using the web platform is incredibly inefficient. 

    It's starting to feel like dropbox is downgrading it's features on OSX actually. First the insanely useful "sync next" button from the dropdown menu goes missing, and now file request is missing? I'm seriously considering migrating cloud storage providers on account of this downturn in services.
