It's really astonishing that such a useless change that has such a a major impact on the usability of their flagship product somehow made it through the numerous checks and code reviews required to get into a final release. It's actually worse than useless because it removes functionality that was there before and worked as desired. On top of that it creates confusion around something that has always been simple and straight forward.
Please revert to the previous sync icon scheme.

I encourage people you know to vote of this idea. That appears to be the only way to get the company to take it seriously. Now that I realize everyone is getting different answers from tech-support, it’s clear that no one is in charge at dropbox. Customer service was really great about two years ago but I guess the company is falling apart. Hoping for the best but looking into pCloud for now.

Can not for the life of me understand these changes. Even after a month of trying to get used to it, I am still confused. It's so obviously worse, the only explanation I can fathom is that it is a sabotage.
I don't even bother looking at the icons any more, because they convey such little meaning.
DropBox used to be one of the very few things that just nailed it, that I really loved. Now it's just joined the pile of crappy things that I tolerate.
