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

+1 on that. My brain just cannot adjust to the lack of a green tick. Every time I look at the icon in the tray, I keep thinking it's gone offline (even though I know it hasn't) PLEASE bring it back or at least give us an option where we can switch it on or off. Thanks for listening! Steve

Why would you make a change like this without informing your users!! My co-workers all thought we had been disconnected from Dropbox because for all the years we have been using the program, a plain white icon meant offline!! Can you PLEASE add the green checkmark back? Why change things for the worse, I don't understand.

Yes, PLEASE bring the green checkmark to the Dropbox logo on my system tray. I don't understand why it was removed in the first place. Bring it back PLEASE

This was a shocking change IMO. I deffinately want my green check mark back!

Why was the green checkmark on the system tray icon recently removed? It was a visual confirmation that my dropbox was in synch. Now it appears that dropbox is constantly offline and I have to hover over the icon multiple times a day to assure myself that dropbox is in synch. Please bring it back, or allow me the option of reinstalling the last version that supports that feature.

Bring back the green 'synced' checkmark in the system tray.

Please bring the green checkmark icon back. It is nearly impossible for me to tell if my dropbox files are up to date or if it is simply offline. I do not understand why someone would think it would be a great idea to make a visual queue the exact same icon, but simply change the shade of grey to indicate the status.

The green checks were the reason I went with Dropbox - It was reliable compared to Google Drive, etc.

I have plenty of Google Drive space, so the advantage of Dropbox for me has been erased.

Why was this removed in the first place?

I don't understand why these things are changed when they worked.

if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it!!!

For goodness sake drop box - get these Windows 10 issues sorted out - we don't know know what your system is doing now. Get the greener marker back on the next upgrade . You had a great product but you are messing it up - did you recruit from MS - whats going on?
Take your time with the Fusion (not Integration) product. Your "box" idea is far better than MS Team's "box" so come on show them how to do it. We are behind you - but don't **** the basic product up.
