Brown icon in left bottom corner of my files
Hello,
On several files, I have a brown icons in left bottom corner of my files.(see below)
in fact, in the same folder, there are green logos on fils but sometime there are brown logo
...
The brown logo isnt a Dropbox one. My guess is you've enabled the Briefcase function in Windows: https://www.techmesto.com/how-to-enable-briefcase-feature-in-windows-10
This is not supported in Dropbox and Dropbox can only sync/use/work with files that are in its own directory. So to use them you need to move the files directly in to Dropbox rather than just linked.
Has anyone solved this?
I have disabled Onedrive.
I have reinstalled Dropbox.
Brown icons still there and in a panic as I cannot access any of my files.
thank you.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHey suev, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Did you reboot your computer after disabling One Drive and reinstalling Dropbox on your machine?
If you did and this persists, you might need to completely uninstall One Drive from your computer, at least temporarily.
Thanks for this solution.
I have quit myself from one drive first and then uninstalled OneDrive and restarted the computer. It resolved my issues.
