A folder’s sync icon will depend on what files are contained within that folder.
For example:
- If a folder contains at least 1 online-only file then the folder’s sync icon will be online-only
- If a folder contains zero online-only files and at least 1 available file then its sync icon will be the available icon
- If a folder contains only available offline files then its sync icon will be available offline

Exactly! Where is the icon that indicates that there are 'only online files' inside the folder? Because that's the one we need to see at one glance which folder need to be actually put entirely to 'online only' to make some space on the computer really quick - when the notifications starts to rain in that there is no more space left on the hard drive. Come on, i can't imagine that a developer reading this, couldn't think of that this change would make it all so much more complex.

arigoldfilms Is it just me, or is there no option to VOTE? Seems to me this thread type changed from "Dropbox-ideas" to "Ask the community" where there is no VOTE option. I remember voting for this change earlier, now I came back to copy the link and share it with my colleagues but it's different.
Link people post so others would go and vote:
