Unfortunately, it's inevitable, since presenting a regular file explorer looks like they're competing in the commodity file syncing / backup space, not the higher-value enterprise collaboration space. They're trying not to be a "feature" as Steve Jobs called them.

Enterprise collaboration is going to use what integrates with their email - that's going to be OneDrive or Google Drive. The commodity syncing space was where DropBox shined, and it feels weird taking a step back from that.

I don't get that. As opposed to what? Displaying an unfamiliar window what gets in the way and is confusing?

But the dropbox "app" doesn't even really do that much, it's just a clone of a native file explorer, but worse.
