This is such a hard thing to balance. I hate nagging notifications. Dropbox makes it really easy to see what the service status is. I glance at my menu bar/system tray icon, and look for the green check. If I don't see the green check, I know my docs haven't synced.

- bradleyland 13y agoI already know that. The Dropbox icon is always within sight and provides immediate feedback on the status of your Dropbox: Green check - good to go! Blue cycle - syncing Blank icon - no connection Not wanting a nag is not rose tinted glasses. If there is an improvement to be made, it would be in the last icon. Blank doesn't exactly scream "we're down". If the Dropbox client can't get a connection to the service, but it can see that a network link is available, it should give some indication that it is not connected, like some manner of red indicator.
