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, 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 
where did the green check mark go now I look at it and I am thinking my internet is not connected because that is how I always knew it was connected.
Why would you remove it I can't think of a single reason to remove this feature.
CSX321 That worked for me I now have my Green Tick / Green Checkmark back.
Thank you for the pointer.
Steps:
1) Use Resource Hacker to extract the icon from Dropbox.exe Icon Group 201 (smallest one 16x16)
2) Edit icon with Icon Editor, I used Greenfish Icon Editor to add a green tick (I also added a black boarder to the green tick for contrast)
3) Use Resource Hacker to Replace New Icon
4) Save Dropbox.exe (You might have to use accesible folders depending on your folder permissions)
Furthermore the new icon is smaller than the old one and it is ugly on 4k display (retina-like display):
@lestersk Thank you so much for this, any chance you can upload the icon you made for us?
Maybe post the dropbox link hehe :)
thanks so much!
I would really like the green tick back please. It's so much easier to check your computer is online and everything is syncing as it should.
Not sure if I should do this but heregoes

Edit: Thanks for doing your icon Lestersk I didn't notice you had done it when I made this post, ty so much!
Here is the icon I made.
1. Copy dropbox.exe file from its location on your PC to your desktop.
2. Open the file in ResourceHacker
3. Find the "Icon Group" section, then find the 201 folder
4. Right click the 201 folder and go to "replace icon"
5. Find the icon file you downloaded below and replace the icon
6. Save-as the new exe but name it something like Dropbox with greencheck.exe
7. Copy and paste this file in your dropbox folder along side your regular dropbox.exe
8. Rename dropbox.exe to something like dropbox-backup.exe
9 Rename the new dropbox file to what you need it to be, dropbox.exe
Note: new updates to dropbox you will probably have to do this again so save the icon file to dropbox also

Another one here calling for the tick to be re-instated, crazy decision to drop it, please bring it back!
I don't think that the green button needs to come back. I'd be happy if it did, but I don't think it's necessary. What they need to do is increase the difference between the "online" icon and the "offline" icon. Those two icons are too similar now. Maybe, if they don't want to bring the green checkmark back, they could add a red x when you're offline. I don't just use it to see if Dropbox is online, I keep that in my status tray because I want to see if my computer is online.
Can't get Dropbox to use the edited icon. Have been using resource hacker and followed instructions 100%
It just wont show anything else than the new ugly icon without green checkmark, arghhh
Anyone else having problems with replacing icon?
