- 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.
SO inconvenient. I've been fielding this question from within my team since yesterday.
We use the app for starring, pinning, commenting on specific images or files with caption notes, @ each other to get quick responses.
we're all working from home again during the omicron spike (we are in healthcare, supporting major hospitals and aged care homes) so the loss of functionality is a major disruption, at the worst possible time.
I am aware the move was made because some users found the dual existence of program files/finder AND the app to be too confusing, so is there perhaps a way to bring back the app as an optional item (like, in preferences 'show the app' or 'don't show the app' ) so it's not a default for those who get confused easily but its available for those end users who DON'T find it confusing and actually require it (and require the extra functionality that made dropbox worth paying for) ??
