Sync icons are missing in Explorer on Windows 10

The green icons next to files and folders signifying whether file(s) are on-line or off-line only are no lonher displaring. It was at one time showing a green checkmark or an empty cloud icon, now, nothing. When I rigt click on the file, the dropdown menu still give me the option to choose whether to make available on-line only or local.

I'm running Win 10 on a Lenovo T530 Laptop. Any help would be apptrciated. Thanks.

I just followed Walter's steps. One Drive was showing as the first 10 entries in the registry followed by Dropbox. I switched it up so that Dropbox shows as the first 10 entries. I rebooted by PC and now everything is back to normal. Yes, I now have the green icons back, next to each file and folder. Thanks for the help.

Hi @skverskk, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Could you try reinstalling the Dropbox desktop application, without uninstalling it first, by using this link?

This will help me to assist further!

I re-installed the desktop app, but still no file or folder icons.

Could you attach a screenshot showing the Dropbox folder as it appears in Explorer on your machine?

Hey @skverskk, regarding your desktop app; are you seeing the Dropbox icon in your system tray?

Can you let me know your app’s version and its syncing status?

skverskk

Yes, I do see the dropbox icon in my system tray.

Version# 212.4.5767

No syncing issues

Note: This was workink just fine, a few months ago.

Thanks for checking @skverskk.

Have you tried the steps -about the 15 icons- that my colleague, Walter mentioned in this thread, by any chance?
