Delete, edit, and organize
Solve issues with deleting, editing, and organizing files and folders in your Dropbox account with support from the Dropbox Community.
If I wanted to look at the latest files uploaded to my dropbox, I'd click on the dropbox icon in my menubar (Mac OS) and click on the folder containing the file that was last uploded as the folder tree was right under the file name.
On top of that I could right click the file name in the app, copy a link to these files and share it with whatever app I wanted to as the link was now in my clipboard. I could also go to folder the file was in simply by clicking the name of it etc etc and now ALL I can do is open the file.
Who makes these incredibly stupid and unintuitive design decisions? ADD functionality, don't remove it.
Hey @nana71, thank you for all the details, and screenshot!
Can I ask for you to hover over your icon on the menu bar, check for the status of the app, and the version?
Let me know once you have it, and we'll take it from there!
Cheers!

thank you!
What dougschi said is what it looks like on my end now. And when I hover over a file, no options appear.
This is the version info:
As MarkRM stated - additional step required after disabling this preference is to re-install dropbox as it won't simply revert back to a stable version.
I am having the exact same problem. This very feature of being able to see what I worked on recently and what my team has worked on recently is the reason I picked dropbox instead of Box (which was free!). I now want to cancel. This is TERRIBLE.
voila

Hi Lori,
thanks for your info. Actually most of the time were happy with being in the Beta version, but in this case we don't understand what's going on. Could you give some info why dropbox is opting out of navigating via the taskbar icon? It was so helpful and this feature should even be explored more if you ask us. Reinstalling dropbox is very heavy on our internet usage and we because we have a very complex and large database, this demands a lot of synching and is time consuming.. Looking forward to feedback on this.
Best
