So ridiculous.  Has Dropbox become a Microsoft wanna be?  "lets see, start menu that everyone has been trained to understand...nah, take it out".  Now Dropbox, "hmmm, UI checkbox that everyone now knows is a reliable means to determine if everything is in sync.... nah not needed, take it out."

C'mon, why change things that work and have been trained.  There is no legitimate need to remove the checkmark indicator.

 

Please put it back.

As others have mentioned, do not feed us bs that it is not possible.  Of course its possible.  MS put the start menu back, you can put a tiny little indicator back.
