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 
Just want to add my vote to all the above: it was really useful to be able to see at a glance that sync was completed before shutting down -- the new look is completely unhelpful (especially on my 4k screen, where the Dropbox taskbar icon is tiny).
+1
Please bring back the old icon - I personally find it much more intuitive to see a clear indication as to whether my Dropbox is fully sync'd, currently sync'ing or disconnected via coloured tick/sync/cross symbols overlaying the dropbox system tray icon rather than shades of grey.
Green tick please. can see no advantage to removing it.
If you want to get rid of the green checkmark to indicate that everything is ok, that's fine, but then instead of fading the icon on failure put the red x over it instead. That'd even be a better design than what we originally had.
Old UI:
Normal icon = disconnected (this never made sense)
Green tick = synced
Blue spinner = syncing
Current UI:
Faded icon = disconnected (harder to distinguish)
Normal icon = synced
Blue spinner = syncing
Proposed UI
Red cross = disconnected
Normal icon = synced
Blue spinner = syncing
One of the reasons that I believe Dropbox differentiates themselves from Google drive and rubbish Onedrive is that I can constantly see if there is a sync error by reading the check mark. Now it is gone and I do not like it.
WTF is wrong with software developers?
Why did you do this?
Completely agree. Now you must hover over the icon to distinguish if it's updated or if it is disconnected or the DP app has crashed.
Vague gray for disconected... vague.
At a certain moment when something is good and people want to make improvements, instead they worsen it. That is the case here. If it ain't broken don't fix it.
BRING BACK THE GREEN CHECKMARK ICON on the db icon in the taskbar.
And oh yeah the blue db icon was also nicer than the black. And why is there a orange shovel icon for syncing instead of the round arrows?
Just registered on the forum to add my voice to this discussion.
Having a clear visual indicator that everything is synced was so much easier. Bring back the green tick mark.
Faded/Non-faded as a means of showing status is a very poor design decision.
Very dissapointed.
I have been puzzled and angry about this change from the very first. The all-black UI is unhelpful and unattractive. It should, at the very least, be made a preference so that those who wish a goth-like interface can have it, and those of us who depend on color to be more efficient and better informed can have that as well.
The green tick should really come back! The difference between faded and solid tray icon in Windows is almost unrecognizable - I really have to fix my eyes on it to know the status.
