Appreciate the more detailed explanation, Adam. But this doesn't solve the underlying problem: Quite a lot of Dropbox users had become reliant on the feature which was removed, the green tick.
I think we all understand now that your team is repurposing the green indicator for Smart Sync, and that seeing green on the icon will soon mean, for some users, that the file they're working on is local and not necessarily synced.
