Why are you using the web UI? Dropbox is at its best as just a folder on your hard drive that works like any other, except it effectively exists simultaneously on all your devices.

I'm going to guess that the person also uses Google docs and or slides which is mostly web-based -- yes you can download it for offline use but that's a hassle.

I use both the sync client and the web app (depends on the situation). The web app for the google suite is just so much better, the Dropbox website is painful. The sync client for Dropbox I used to find slightly better, but it's not better enough to justify the massive license costs of Dropbox in comparison to google drive. All in all, each to their own!
