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 
Bring it back! Bring it back!
Put everything back the way they were!
The green check mark was easy to understand. With only a glimpse I could see that everything was ok.
Now it looks Dropbox is offline.
Why, Oh, why is it that you think it is necessary to fix a perfectly working system?
Removing the green check mark was a poor, poor design choice. I really don't see the need for this change. But if the goal has been to confuse people, then indeed: mission complished!
Please bring back the green check mark
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.

I wonder what made Dropbox designers think the green check mark is suddenly - after years of happy customers - bad.
Bring it back PLEASE
Dropbox!!! Where is the big problem?
I don't understand why you hesitate or even try to ignore this?
If you can make new icons, you should be able to make an option in settings where you can choose what icons you like most.
Comon, you wont try to tell us all that the green tick is to hard to implement in a newer version?
FFS, maybe you should have let your users vote what they like, before rolling out the new icons.

I can see no logic for taking this away. Even if there is some reason, make it an option.
Removing the green checkmark is a step backwards, especially for color-blind people. Even for folks who are not color-blind, it can be difficult to differentiate between a gray icon and a white icon if you set your monitor to low brightness or night mode.
I fear this thing must go viral for Dropbox to restore our green tick! So, if you're on Twitter, get on board with the hashtag...
