Please make the full sync status area clickable again for pause syncing.
In the previous Dropbox desktop UX, the entire sync status area at the bottom of the window (red) was clickable. I could click anywhere on the “Your files are up to date” area to open the sync status menu and pause syncing. In the updated UX, that behavior appears to have changed.

Dropbox has said that the computer has changed but it hasn't
This pertains to the basic/free version of Dropbox. Dropbox is saying I'm trying to run it on a different computer and that I've exceeded the 3 computer limit. However, that is not true.

The Linux Desktop App should have feature parity with the Windows/OSX app
The Linux desktop app is incredibly lacklustre compared to its Windows and Mac counterparts. With more and more people dropping Windows in favour of Linux, this needs addressing. Notably, it's missing Online-Only sync options. The app also looks super outdated, especially on GNOME desktop environments.
