Dropbox Community ModeratorHey Scott, had that been the case, and provided we discontinued our syncing icons, I'd confirmed that this is normal.

Can you follow these steps, in order to perform an advanced re-install, please?

I opened support ticket #22714467, and Craig explained to me what's going on.
