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, ...
The meaning of a green check is universal and easily understood. Anywhere you see it, it always means all is good. The new mystery icon not an improvement. It is nearly impossible with a quick glance to distinguish between a normal icon or a "faded" icon. The only certain way to know the status is to hover the mouse over the icon and wait for the pop up message -- more time and work.
Unfortunately for us, the trend in UI design for the last several years is to make everything more difficult for the users in favor what some designer thinks looks cool on the screen. Dropbox has jumped on this bandwagon. Blank space is good. Easy navigation and plainly visible information are bad.
Has Dropbox stated any good reason why it was taken away? "To bring the client in-line with all the other Dropbox clients" is corporate speak BS. What other clients? I use Windows and Linux, and both had green checks until just recently.
Well, let's hope they don't take away the green check on folders and files,too. Then we will REALLY have no way to know whether our files are synced!
Please Dropbox, bring back the green check. It was a good idea when Dropbox first started; it is still a good idea today.
