Bring back the green 'synced' checkmark in the system tray.
In my Windows system tray (next to the clock), Dropbox used to show that it was fully synced by showing a green check-mark over the Dropbox icon. This was really helpfull.
If Dropbox was offline, ...
I agreed removing the icons is not acceptable. I am a consultant and myself and over 10 companies all setup on business level dropbox accounts. Every single one of them have called me thinking drobox was offline and was having issues for them and their entire staff. I felt i was experiencing the same thing too and spent an a hour reinstalling, unlinking/relinking, etc. until i found this article showing it as an "update".
Please please please bring it back to the old way. The fading thing just dowsn't work for my clients with small screens / older screens or who can't physically see the subtle differences. One of the companies deals with the elderly (all 75+ years old) and nearly all of them are having issues seeing the differnces, where a check mark worked (and the fact it was green also helped).
Even Windows 10 Security Center (in the taskbar too) uses the green check mark system on the taskbar and on the entire Security Center list of items to show everything is safe and up-to-date (Virus, Device performance & health, Firewall, App/crowswer control". Also OneDrive uses the green check mark system too (no longer in the taskbar but underer Windows Explorer and when clicking inside your OneDrive folder).
Forgetting about the taskbar for a second, the fact that the folders and files inside of your dropbox folder are not showing green check marks as well is a huge problem and not how OneDrive or any of the other syncing programs we've used work either. This is a huge issue as they no longer look like "clould" folders/files anymore and noone can tell which folders/files are synced and which ones are local. Meanwhile OneDrive has green checks on all the ones synced to the cloud.
I'm not sure if this will get read or not but i hope it does becuase i desperaly DON'T want to move myself and all these businesses away from Drobox and have to go to OneDrive (or Google Drive), as i a not a fan of there services, expecially for a stupid reason like an icon. But bottom line if every one of my clients called and had issues (which they all did) and their customers can't physically see the differences (as explained above), something will have to be done :(
