You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
I love new features, don't get me wrong, but not at the cost of them cluttering up the UI with features I rarely (or never) use. The sidebar on the web keeps growing with no way to tame it. How about...
Come on Dropbox. This is pathetic. Removing or Hiding the Sidebars is easy for the Dropbox dev team. Allowing the user to setting a switch, save in the profile object, and using that to power default hide settings in CSS. My development team does this routinely for my clients. It's about 2-3 hours for a single dev to complete. With browser profiles these days, the QA team can check it in a matter of minutes. Even with documentation, performance analysis (near-zero), DB schema updates (or none if using NoSQL), and push to production, you'll still talking a single resource equivilancy of an offshore resource for maybe a day or 2.
