Dropbox StaffHey Sambosam, thanks for posting your query to our Community.
To give you some info on this, as of January 17, 2022, the Dropbox desktop app only supports Finder and the menu bar, and the desktop app window is no longer available.
You should have received an email about this at some point, but not to worry! Your content is still safe with us.
You can still save, view, share, and access all your files with the Dropbox folder in macOS Finder, the menu bar, on our website, and from the latest iOS and Android apps.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Yeah, I have a question: Who's brilliantly terrible idea was it to discontinue the desktop app window?? That is literally the only instance of this app that I like to use at all. Dropbox in windows explorer is a steaming pile of garbage and the webpage version of the app is a pain and doesn't work as good. I want the old dropbox back now!
Thank you for the reply Hannah. I'm disappointed by the answer and really don't understand the logic behind the decision. While it may have simplified my Windows desktop (which wasn't really ever an issue to me) it's now made the process of using Dropbox much more complex. I suspect many with have the same opinion and hope that Dropbox reconsiders reinstating the app.
