How is this still an issue? How difficult could it possibly be to implement this? What in the hell is the point on my using Dropbox to sync files IF I CAN'T EVEN ACCESS THEM AS I WOULD ANY NORMAL FILE?!?!?!??!

It can't be that hard to implement, because IT USED TO WORK THIS WAY. It's not like we're asking for a new feature, just fix what you broke. Let me use my files offline with the program of my choice, like it used to be. No sure whose bright idea it was to change this, but it's the most idiotic idea any company ever had... Remove the feature people use your product for.
