thx Sheena for the explanation.
The Dock Icon is gone now.
I am an Dropbox User over 10 years now.
Here my Feedback:
stop working on such a pointless function as a desktop app because nobody needs it. The macOS Finder and Windows Explorer integration is completely sufficient and much better.
I do not use other tools like iCloud Drive because the Finder / Explorer integration is not as good there as Dropbox.
Again, no one needs a desktop app that does the same thing as a Bowser window !!!
If you stick to it, please make sure that the autostart can be configured separately. An option for the background client in the menubar, and a further option for the app in the dock.

Actually, it's not even that - the desktop app reflects only the state of the client it's running on. The web (dropbox.com) reflects the state of the account as a whole.
I.e. Files may not have fully synced between clients, or between web and client - the web tells you what's on your actual Dropbox.
If the desktop client was a reflection of the account as we see it on the web, then there might be a case for it's usefulness.
In any case, we need an option to disable it. I'm confident the development team will realize this and implement it soon enough, even though they are possibly hoping it will "catch on" and users will "realize the value through a forced hand" - We won't.
