My first reaction: this feels like it's adding a lot of noise and clutter to the interface, but also a lot of powerful collaboration tools. Personally, I've been using Dropbox to sync files between my devices, so this redesign is clearly not targeted toward me. But if it works, it might help Dropbox make inroads in the business/enterprise market that Box seems to be dominating so far.

I have a few qualms with this app...

At least the interface is still the same colors, instead of the gross palette of the blog and their rebrand.

I see these new integrations and all I can think about is the privacy implications.

You don't have to enable integrations.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but the desktop app is basically an electron app by using QTWebengine (Chromium embedded).

The blog looks like one giant acid trip.

Heads up, downloads 20MB and might take a long time to load (for some reason it took over a minute on my laptop)
