Re: Status icons change - shows 'grey cloud icon', while it should be a 'green transparent V check' icon

Thanks for your reply Hannah,

And don't take it personal of course 🙂 I really appreciate that your response is so quick.

It's just that it's so frustrating that every once in a while Dropbox keeps changing things that first worked perfectly fine until it's been changed for an unclear reason. it seems like the changes just happen without an internal brainstorm whether it's a good idea or not. Because i can't imagine there is noone of the developers team that in the middle of the process, raises his hand to say, 'erm, nope! wait!'

I've taken this from the topic you've sent me, because hits the nail exactly where the problem starts:

qoute:

--

A folder’s sync icon will depend on what files are contained within that folder.

For example:

• If a folder contains at least 1 online-only file then the folder’s sync icon will be online-only 
• If a folder contains zero online-only files and at least 1 available file then its sync icon will be the available icon 
• If a folder contains only available offline files then its sync icon will be available offline 

//

Exactly! Where is the icon that indicates that there are 'only online files' inside the folder? Because that's the one we need to see at one glance which folder need to be actually put entirely to 'online only' to make some space on the computer really quick - when the notifications starts to rain in that there is no more space left on the hard drive. Come on, i can't imagine that a developer reading this, couldn't think of that this change would make it all so much more complex.

I hope this will be an internal topic to reverse this change 🙏 

I'm not (i think noone) paying all this money to climb back and post about another thing that was working perfectly until something weird out of nowhere came to really destroy my workflow, again... 

Thanks for your time Hannah! 😬🙏
