If Dropbox was offline, it would show no overlay icon. 

 

Recently (and according to Dropbox itsself) this has changed, the Dropbox icon now shows no overlay if it is fully synced, but to me, i constantly think my Dropbox is offline, instead of 'fully synced'.

 

So the idea is: please bring back the green 'fully synced' checkmark. Or -at least- make it an option to show it. 

 

Please upvote this idea if you agree :white_check_mark:

 

 


It was an easy visual to let me know all was well, and if there was no check or circle, I would know at a glance that I was having internet issues (which happens disappointingly often, and this was the easiest way to confirm without a lot of other rigamarole)..
