Feedback and issues on the Dropbox website

I've used dropbox for decades, and not used dropbox for the last 5 years. These are some of the reasons why: Dropbox does not quickly show me the file sizes inside my folders and in my total space alloted in my quota. Getting to the info is not quick and it should be visible at the top level of every heirarchy. Dropbox controls just don't work, private areas are hacked constantly and are useless. Sign-ins for colleagues don't work. The design of the dropbox page template takes up so much screen real estate that the most important info is always missing / not showing at the bottom of the page. Design like this is not excuseable; it is done on purpose to prevent users from knowing how much space they are using and other important things. 


These decisions on Dropbox's part are antithetical to a utility.
