    Click the link on the left side that says "files" you will see the old view. Its the first item under recents. 

    If you do not see it, then I suspect it is a browser rendering issue. Please try another browser.

I'd like to add my voice to this discussion as well since nothing has been done to fix this terrible UI decision. Dropbox, please change the default login back to files or give us the ability to change it ourselves. I do not know a single person who does not absolutely hate the fact that you force us to open onto the recents tab. Please resolve this issue. You have a great service, but this was a pointless and incredibly obnoxious decision that is very easy for you to fix, so please do it!

Thank you.
