Hi there, 

 

I think Dropbox should restore the Dropbox App. It was hugely convenient for accessing files and making comments on folders. Finder is not that intuitive as compared to the Dropbox app which gave the option of making certain folder favourites for quick access. 

 

Regards,

    The Dropbox desktop app appears to have merged with File Explorer. Now it is less streamlined to:

    -see who edited a file in File Explorer

    -when a file was last edited

    -when a file was added to a folder in File Explorer

    -the list of people who have access/permission to a folder in File Explorer

    -how to invite someone to a folder in File Explorer

    I totally agree!!! Removing the app has made my work double!!!  I work on a Mac and can no longer comment with out opening in the browser and I cannot open a file via the browser (except for "preview" only) so I'm having to switch between the browser and file manager.... This is more than a headache for me.

    Agreed!  My work is now doubled.  Bring back the desktop app!
