That this is functionality that was originally a part of the dropbox application that was taken away is a travesty, and the fact that I need to seek out a third-party application to reapply a feature that was originally a part of the application's service, go through a series of clunky steps that defeats the purpose of a cloud-based syncing storage system, or seek out a downgraded version of the application and never update the app again is horrendous app design, and unless this feature was causing some major security issues (in which case, more transparency is absolutely necessary in explaining this), removing it is absolutely a step back.
