Yes, I am pleased that they have individually reached out and stemmed the bleeding by getting us individually reverted to the old system. But they are warning us that they may not be able to keep this in place. I am also hoping that having the long on ramp will encourage them to figure out how to make icons that work for workflow.

Since it doesn't seem there will be a change back to the old sync icon meanings, any word on if we can just simply get one more icon to denote if a folder has mixed online/offline files in it? This one update would fix so much of the problem. Reverting back to the old/better sync icon meanings would solve the problem best... But since that doesn't seem to be an option, just adding one more icon to show if a folder has mixed online/offline files would be tremendously helpful. Honestly, this is a constant/daily pain that takes hours of my time to work around—ie searching through thousands of folders, all with the same cloud icon, to try to find any rouge filed buried within that can be made Online Only. I can't say enough how incredibly much it would help the situation if Dropbox could just add one more icon to denote if a folder has a mix of online/offline files.
