Is it normal?
Thanks.

Wouldn't it be better to tell people when a MAJOR change like this happens?
It just causes confusion and makes people - like me - think that something has stopped working.
You need to inform people that there is no longer a green tick etc. (what is the icon when it's not working now?)
- Yup - I've had 5 phone calls/messages this morning from staff asking me why their dropbox isn't working because they don't see the green checkmark now. You need to do a WAY BETTER job of notifying us about significant UI changes.
Why didn't you just push this out via the dropbox notifications system? Then the users might have seen it and this would have caused a whole lot less confusion and disruption???
That is a real dumb idea. The green checkmark is the equivalent of an instrument panel in an airplane.
Very bad decision. In ALL previous versions, the green thick means "All OK". But now, the absence of this green tick means "All OK". Obviously all things are changing, the ideas are continually improving, changes are necessary. But change for the exact opposite meaning??
The macos version has been like this for quite a long time, so I suppose Dropbox are making things more consistent across platforms.
Still, release notes would have been a good way to let us know about this change!
Thanks, Dropbox!
