I want the desktop app back. I loved that in the app I could open my files to Illustrator/Photoshop... now projects are taking me twice as long because I have to find the folder, nothing is in the same order, it takes longer to open it in a program. This was a horrible move on their part and has me considering something else. My work flow for today has been horrendous trying to navigate folders. I really hope they rework the desktop app and bring it back. The Finder on Mac process is not working for me, and is costing me time, which is impact my end clients. Fix it Dropbox.

i ONE THOUSAND percent feel your pain. I spend most of my day in Illustrator , and the rest working in the Desktop App where I create files/projects for my team and clients.
The last week has been ABSOLUTE TRASH. I have wasted so many hours searching for where my stuff is.. and how can I collab with clients in a concise/beautiful manner we are used to and pay a lot for.
I've been spending the last 4 hours this evening moving all of my files over to different cloud options that I'm testing ... because after years of loyalty and thousands of dollars, Im breaking up with Dropbox.
I feel silly to be this mad about a freaking app, but y'all have killed my workflow and really screwed things up.
Currently testing Box, JumpShare, Sync & giving Google Drive one more shot too.
