You can ask for this all you want, but Kovid has already stated that he has no plans to change this! It is also a monumental task to change this the folder structure is a basic assumption built into the design of the Calibre source code.

If you want your files to be organised in Dropbox the way you describe then use the Calibre "Save to Disk" facility to export files from Calibre to Dropbox in the folder/filename format that you want. Calibre provides complete control over the export folder/filename via the use of "Save to Disk" templates.

The alternative is to simply do your browsing via Calibre itself. The Calibre Search facility is much more powerful way of locating books than browsing a folder structure as you can use any combination of the metadata fields as your search criteria.
