Dropbox app menu cut off from bottom of the display in Windows

Very frustrating, especially since there is no 'open in app' anymore, it's all forced through windows explorer. 

Longtime dropbox PC user. Here's the gist: I click the dropbox Icon in the system notifications area, to open the dropbox interface. (Since, again, there is no native app). The "pause/resume synch" button is at the very bottom right of the interface, which i use frequently to not hog all my bandwidth at home when not working.

However, the interface for some reason has dropped below the bounds of the screen. I've tried: Re-sizing the display resolution, switching to single monitor, changing the taskbar location to bottom, left, right, etc. But, since the synch button has 'dropped off' the edge of the screen, i can't access it, and can't re-enable synch.

The solution? I have to move the taskbar to the top of the screen in order to view the synch button. Silly fix for a silly problem that shouldn't be a problem.

This is a huge oversight in user interface, please allow a native dropbox app again so we can use this program correctly.
