Wow, what a thread. I am a first time poster to this thread. The new default of taking me to the "Recent files" tab by default has been a real pain and I was Googling how to set the preferences to be the way it used to be. I am amazed that Dropbox has such a resistance to providing an option to keeping the previous (more natural) way of accessing files.
If it helps the Product folks at Dropbox, this is all about too many clicks to reach my files. Yes, I saw the work-around to create a shortcut, but I don't need more icons on my screens to restore previous functionality.
I have been a long time Dropbox user, but recently Google Drive has been easier and easier for me to use and I find myself migrating that direction. Being an early supporter of Dropbox, I find that kinda sad.
I am not angry - Dropbox needs to do what they think is best for their product. However, while this may seem like a small feature change, it really is something that is another pain point that pushes me toward other solutions. Just another data point for the Product folks to consider.
Best of luck.
