    It's not a Dropbox icon. It's from OneDrive. You likely have OneDrive and Dropbox trying to sync the same data, which will never work correctly.

      Hi Walter,

      Thank you for that, but unfortunately none of the suggestions have made a difference.  It is not a OneDrive icon so am not sure where to go from here 😞

       

      EDIT:  Actually it is a OneDrive icon.  See my reply further down.

        Hey DG111, sorry to jump in here. 

         

        I did a little bit of research and from what I could find, this icon is related to some file attributes on Windows 11.  

         

        Can you please clarify if you’re able to open these files, or if they give any kind of error when trying to do so?
