Unfortunately, it is not possible for you to revert to the previous version of the app the way they were before File Provider.

If you’re having any specific issues though while using your desktop app with File Provider/macOS Sonoma, please let me know.
The file provider is very bad.
It's excruciatingly slow and unreliable. I'm actively researching Dropbox alternatives, a client of over 10 years is saying bye-bye because of this.
