Syncing icons on the files in the Dropbox folder have changed
Hello The Finder Extension Icons indicating whether a file or folder is Online Only or Available Offline are showing up in my Finder, however, the statuses are incorrect. For instance a folder that ...
Since Dropbox changed the meaning/usage of the selective sync icons, Dropbox has been impossibly more difficult to use on a day to day basis. The previous and vastly superior selective sync icons were so perfect—at a quick glance you knew if a folder was fully online only, fully offline, or a mixture of both. It gave you all the information you needed, at a glance, and made freeing up space on your drive a breeze. It was so elegant in it's simplicity. The recent change though, has been such a huge step backward. Now you can no longer see at a glance if a folder contains a mixture of "offline" and "online" files; forcing you to dig into it's contents and look at every inclosed file individually. Sadly, this change has given so many diehard users no other option but to consider having to find alternatives to Dropbox.
Please either:
1) Bring back the old and far superior selective sync icon system, or
2) Create a 4th icon that denotes if a folder has a mixture of "online only" and "offline" files
