Since new syncing icons, white Xs are prevalent in Dropbox

RTCJR

Hello,

 

Since the latest Dropbox update (from when I was prompted to take a tour), my syncing icons have changed disappeared and replaced with white Xs on the files.  I'm led to believe this is something to do with Windows, but why has it started happening now?  How do I fix it?

 

Dropbox is running fine and the make online/offline functionality still works.

 

Thanks,

 

James

**bleep**ing Onedrive!  I've uninstalled that piece of **bleep** more times than I care to remember.  Must've sneaked in with the latest feature update.  Thank you!

 

If anyone is reading and wants the steps I did:

 

1. Uninstall OneDrive (preferably with something like Geek or BCU).
2. Quit Dropbox
3. Purge icon cache (delete everything that starts with "icon" in C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer)
4. Download and reinstall Dropbox
5. Restart once it's synced
