    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 there, thanks for your quick response. 

 

The below screen shot shows two documents, one with the archive icon on top and one without but both within the same folder structure.

 

 

I am unable to open the file "CZ Offer Letter." Literally, nothing happens when I double click on it or right click and select open. This is happening across file types (i.e. not just pdf, but also xls and word that I've noticed).

 

I am able to open these files through drop box on the web.

I actually figured it out. Looks like it was an issue with Malwarebytes somehow. Once I went into Malwarebytes and added Dropbox as a safe application, the issue resolved itself.
