Why don't shared folders on Windows have a specific icon to show it's shared?

Hello everyone.

I want to ask for your collaboration to understand a problem that we are presenting. I'm having problems with the icons. When sharing a folder using Windows Explorer, nothing appears that allows me to distinguish which folder or file is shared. I even remember that before there was a column in Windows Explorer that allowed you to know the status. I use Windows 11. Does anyone have the same thing happen to them?

I thank you in advance for your help.

Hi @CRIS2812dpx, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Which version of Windows are you running on your machine?

Shared folders in the Dropbox folder should have specific icons on them (similar to the Dropbox site) to distinguish them from private folders. Individual files don't have any such icons on them.

Could you attach a screenshot showing one of these shared folders in Explorer in order to assist further?

Does this icon no longer work?

Are those icons in the second image from Windows 11, or another version of Windows?
