You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

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, ...
Removing the ICONS, not just the green icon is not only exquisitely moronic but furthermore the "shading" doesnt even work, at least in mint mate 18.1
Not only it shows like its offline all the time now, but it also shows offline when i PAUSE syncing.
I bet a new "young" guy made that decision that needs to get in touch with the basics. Like, i don't know, maybe before taking up a positioin and deciding something so crucial for thousands of people you should have at least an idea of THE BASICS OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES like HCI. It is called Human Computer Interaction and it is a lesson, yes a lesson, when you study about HOW TO FREAKING MAKE GUI's that increase productivity and above all MAKE SENSE.
Now with the new shiny drobpox tray icon we have to do more steps to inform ourselves about its syncing status like hooover all the way to the icon when previously a 0.100ms look was simply enough.
And because just by judging a problem you don't solve it i will give you a heads up.
If you hadn't had anything more usefull to do than deciding to mame a critical and already flawlessly working feature at least do it right.
Bring back the pause sub-icon, create a new icon for when sync is offline and what do you know, then we will all know that the little open box with NO SUB-ICON means "up to date".
Because come on, shading? really? in critical things like work trends and "coolnes" is not a factor
BRING BACK THE TRAY SUB ICONS
And of course stop using people that are clueless in software design
