    That feature has disappeared!

    That feature has not disappeared. Double-clicking the Dropbox icon in the system tray (Windows) or menu bar (Mac) still opens the Dropbox folder. A single-click will open the Dropbox app.

    If this isn't happening for you, download the latest release and uninstall/reinstall.

It's back. I am now suddenly able to double click on the system tray icon to launch my Dropbox folder. If this change has occurred as a result of the user feedback on this forum, I am very happy about that. This is a very convenient feature. 

Has anyone else noticed that they can now click on the Dropbox icon in the system try to launch the folder?
