Hey all, thanks for posting here!
Your feedback regarding our Dropbox desktop application has been very valuable, and I will endeavor to make sure your voice is heard.
I will pass on your comments to the relevant departments so that we can further improve our product.
Keep in mind that no features were removed and you can still use your Finder or File Explorer without an issue.

Thanks a bunch!

Thank you so much to everyone that is giving support to my comment.
I really hope that someone in charge sees it, brings back the APP, and keeps investing in it ... in a changing world, in a middle of a crisis because of the pandemic, in a moment where the digitalization of each company is the only way to keep our heads up, to give support to our clients, no matter where (home office), to keep the teams united, once again no matter where they are located (home office), and in a moment where everyone is in a hurry because we do not know what will happen next, so speed up, and productivity comes first... How Dropbox has decided to limit features???
It is really really disappointing to lose features, to lose easy access to the folder overview (this is something that I really won't handle long, it freaks me out), without the APP our productivity and internal communication (My team and I used daily the comments @.. for internal communication, it was really great and user friendly! through the website is a mess! and through the Desktop solution... it is simply unavailable!!!) have been negatively affected... Especially in the middle of a pandemic when most of the companies are a bit decentralized because lots of employers work from home... You need quick and easy interfaces, user-friendly, to avoid mistakes, etc... And once again... How disappointing can be to have a cloud solution that the only way to operate is synchronizing local all? Hello! Do we need to buy all new computers with bigger memory capacity because we do need to keep what is in the cloud as well in the Computers?
I repeat myself, instead of going forward Dropbox in the middle of a pandemic is going backward and affecting negatively to its clients, and for the same price... How disappointing!!!
Example:
- Should we move all to GoogleDrive? I use to like better Dropbox... but not anymore..
- There are companies that operate 100% with a cloud, such as HOLDED (ERP-CRM Solution) that have no app but have a really easy website interface, and that keeps all simply online without the need of using computers internal memory.. (Dropbox app is no user friendly at all..)
I personally think that Dropbox should bring the App back asap (before we all freaks out) and keep investing in easy solutions for internal communications because the future of lots of companies is operating decentralized.
Info: I have talked to the support of Dropbox by telephone, and they have told me that they canceled the app because lots of people have got stressed with 3 interfaces (Website/App/Desktop). My answer to all of them is: Nobody force anyone to use the 3 solutions... do not install the app if you don't like it, simple as that.
