Leave folder and keep files is a scarily hidden option - please fix this.
Often when a collaboration on a project is over I wish to leave a shared folder AND keep a copy of the files for myself.

Dropbox file format...work with legacy versions or not?
I haven't installed the latest version of Dropbox because I can't get a proper answer on whether if I do so the new format will not sync with older formats on old computers.

Is there a Dropbox Transfer desktop app?
I recently switched from we********😶 to Dropbox Transfer. So far I'm very happy. The only feature I'm desperately missing is a desktop app for Transfer. Is there an app available (like we********😶 has) where I can simply drag and drop any files for my clients? It's a bit inconvenient to always log in via browser. Thank you!

Dropbox app doesn't startup well with Windscribe VPN Firewall
I use the Windscribe VPN Firewall ON ALL THE TIME mode on my Windows 10 desktop. I have to do a "delayed Dropbox startup" because the dropbox systray icon will go "gray" if it starts too fast. I'm guessing that there's a conflict with Windscribe. Even with the delay, sometimes, the icon will still "go gray" and never…
