The new Dropbox is awful. Why do I have to keep checking and unchecking folders every time I want to edit or do anything with files in the online version? It's a waste of time and serves no purpose.

Guys, please bring the old UI back. This one is very impracticle. It takes ages to download files by clicking them each separately and then pressing the Download button. It's just unnecessary. What I used to do was - L Click on a file and then R Click > Download and It worked flawlessly. Now I have to click on a small check box, move my mouse over the download button, then uncheck the file and check a new one. I know I can select multiple but it's all zipped and it takes time to download and then unzip it for 2 files. It's unnecessary, it's overly complicated. Now the old method is gone. Why change from so much better UI with so many capabilites to this limp one that has almost no options to chose from and it is overly complicated? Please bring the old UI back or at least provide that option to select the old UI. That's all I ask for (and what many others are asking too as I could see).
Thank you

I guess the purpose of saving and keeping a copy locally is to be "safe", from Dropbox's perspective. Also the blue light indicator (instead of the cloud icon) could serve as a reminder to keep track of files that have been recently opened. That said, after clicking on 3 files, this has become a tedious exercise, and impossible one after finishing a day's work.
