You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

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 sent the below message to DB support:
As a long term paying customer (2TB DB) I wish to express my great dissatisfaction about the removal of the green tick from the taskbar icon.
Also I preferred the original blue colour of the icon, which was far more distinguishing.
As IT representative at my department, I introduced Dropbox in my department with a presentation Jan. 2010, after having tested it three months intensively. This directly resulted in colleagues becoming users of DB, who are faithful (paying) DB clients up till today. A few months later, DB was forbidden by our central IT department. I defended it, ending in it being tolerated, in our company of 7000 employees, up to the day of today.
I myself am a reasonably heavy user with 700.000 files and 0.35TB in DB.
So I think I have some right to be heard.
All arguments are extensively described in this thread:

Please don't go and explain me how the icons work now. I understand that.
I would even be willing to pay extra to get the green tick back.
The only thing I ask you, is to very seriously reconsider whether the reasons that made you perform this change, I understand branding, are worthwhile the massive client dissatisfaction because of the deterioration of functional quality for users, with even serious loss of functionality for specific groups, such as colour-blinds (see: thread) that is clear from the above thread. Negative branding cannot be your intent I assume. This is negative branding.
Thank you for your attention.
Kind regards,
PG
