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, ...
It was a PIA to swtich, millerjb, I won't deny it. I had something like 80GB to transfer all told and, even with a 100Mbps connection, that's a lot of data to up and down to various synched machines. But... I felt strongly that I had to take a stand against complaints not being acknowledged and/or listened to.
That green tick is a little thing but an important thing, and if I'm paying over the odds for a service I want the thing that's important to me. I don't even care if Dropbox's flat-UI-obsessed management want to stick with the flat white icon as the default for 'synced': I just want the option for sane people who still appreciate non-flat UIs to re-enable the green tick. A literal tick box, that's all I wanted.
And yeah, me returning is gonna take a helluva lot more than a poxy 10% discount. I don't deny that a 75% offer might tempt me back but, that notwithstanding, all I really want for me to return is that little green tick.
