I'm seeing a green checkmark next to my Mac folders, even though their files are still syncing.

I've been in contact with support about what I was convinced was a bug. But they are suggesting it's expected behavior.

Before, if you had a folder with some files still syncing to the cloud, the icon on the folder would show a sync-in-progress-icon. Now it's showing a green checkmark. This makes me very confused every time.

I think the icon on the folder should reflect the fact that not all files have been synced to the cloud.
