Create, upload, and share

The dropbox menu bar app has stopped showing the time left in the current sync in the bottom of the window. It shows a seemingly irrelevant progress bar but even hovering over that does not tell me the time left to sync, which I have depended on to let clients know when files will be there. Hovering over only gives me the option to pause syncing. Was this feature removed or is this a bug in the latest update?
I'm on Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6
PLEASEEEEE FEEDBACK! I am about to cancel subscription for two people and asking refund!
Guys
I am talking to support and they are saying this is the latest update and it's now like this
I advise you all to write them to ask to bring the feature back.
I will now search for an alternative software
Thanks for the update marinacoser, ridiculous that there still hasnt been an official word from dropbox about it.
Will have to look for alternative software. What feature will they remove next?
Well, they have replied to me over phone and Twitter, saying they will forward my feedback to the development team. https://twitter.com/Gloson/status/1111133606833864704
I've looked through 20 alternative cloud providers, but none of them is as fast as Dropbox, unfortunately, probably because I live in Southeast Asia and their servers are located in other parts of the world.
Yes please have this fix immediately. This is a deal breaker
This is a blocker for me. I need to have this feature, what is going on? Did they QA this?
Perhaps they are modelling after Apple: Apple removes the ‘time remaining’ battery estimate in new macOS update https://www.theverge.com/2016/12/13/13939278/apple-macos-sierra-new-macbook-pros-battery-life
Removing this feature is ridiculous! I relied on the upload ETA to know roughly when to tell my clients their files would be ready. Please reinstate this features ASAP!
This is stupid! Why remove this feature? Put it back dummies!
