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, ...

Maybe you have to find an offline installer elsewhere.. Filehippo etc. 

And you may look at the folders in:

C:/program files (x86)/dropbox 

There may be some files you need to delete. 

Most important is that the file "dropboxupdate.exe" is deleted!! 

 

Found old version that i use here: 

http://filehippo.com/download_dropbox/78005/ 

 

Just checked on a machine without dropbox installed. 

I downloaded the Dropbox 34.4.22 file from filehippo and installed. 

As soon as installer was finish i deactivated the 2 "dropbox-update-services" 

Then i go to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Dropbox" and deleted the "DropboxUpdate.exe." 

 

And then i logged in to my dropbox account, and green checkmark is there. Works perfect.
