Time estimation and upload speed in the desktop app on Mac

How long will my upload take?

 

Dropbox used to have a clear display regarding this.

 

Then they changed it and I had to hover over the dropbox on the menubar icon (mac).

 

Now they've changed it again apparently? Hovering gives me information on my dropbox version and that my file is uploading.

 

Thanks. But dropbox used to provide more information here.

 

Now it's hidden somewhere else? or not available? Unfathomable.

 

I hate discovering these changes and new shortcomings on a Friday evening.


Any assistance welcome.

      I have no "further queries", just the "original queries'.

       

      How long will my upload take?

       

      Why did dropbox remove this information from my paid service?

        Bumping this, in the hopes of getting an answer.

         

        Please note I am not posting to provide "feedback" or a "comment" for consideration.

         

        This is a problem and I was hoping to get to a solution from someone knowledgable.

         

        Can I roll back to a version of dropbox that supports this? If so, which version? Where do I find that?
