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 BACK THE CHECKMARK (or TICK MARK)!!!!!!
This always looks DISCONNECTED!
please, bring it back. or making it like an option.
- While I agree the new branding is...nice, I don't think you guys took into account the ramifications of making this change. I have poor vision, and find it difficult to distinguish the difference between a 'faded' icon and a 'not faded' icon. The icon appears to have reduced in size, also. I am floored that you guys would make this change without first testing, and I am very surprised that any UI specialist would agree that this change should be made. Please change back, and change back very soon.
Is anyone from Dropbox Customer Service team listening to us? Or are wasting our time?
DROPBOX. Please bring back the CHECKMARK or at least have the decency to reply. The majority of us are paying customers. We demand a reply!!!!!A
Bring the green checkmark back or at least as an option! Thank you
I miss the green tick also - but OK.
Might be an idea to edit the text on this page...
https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/sync-icons#desktop
...to remove the highlighted text...
A green circle with a check mark is a wonderful thing and what you'll see most often. When it appears on the Dropbox icon in your system tray or menu bar, it means your Dropbox is fully synced.
...which is no longer true.
UPDATE: Well it seems they are reading this forum as the text correction has been made at least for the #desktop version. However, I wouldn't count on getting the green tick back. I would put money that someone's end-of-year bonus is riding on this and my long experience of this type of behaviour tells me that they will tough it out until the rage fades....
Yes, PLEASE bring the green checkmark to the Dropbox logo on my system tray.
The update is 37.4.29.
Bring it back PLEASE.
Until now I've never read the dropbox forum so when the green tick vanished I ended up emailing support thinking something was wrong. This is not the way to do things, Dropbox!
I have no idea who authorised this change but it needs reversing immediately. We all new the status of our dropbox with a simple glance - now it is messing with my brain as others have pointed out - no tick tells my brain that dropbox is offline.
Sort this out, Dropbox!
Are you listening to us? Dropbox!
Please at least give us the option to have the green tick back.

Dear team
I have been using your great application for years for both personal and work related tasks. We employ it throughout our company as a default way to share and store files. Your latest change, which removed the green checkmark was not well recieved by any of us.
I personally find it bad to lose the reassuring feel the green icon gave me. Right now it looks as if the application was not connected to the internet (we actually tested how it looks if it really is disconnected and the change is minimal, hard to notice).
I really hope you will bring the old icon back, as default or as an option.
This reminds me of when Microsoft removed the excellent start menu that we had in Windows 7 and replaced it with that awful thing in Windows 8.
