Hi Megan
I'm not sure exactly when it changed but believe it was around the version that started showing these icons:
Also, I just checked that it only happens in my Camera Uploads folder. If I go into Apps then previews are shown. This is my Camera Uploads folder:

Thanks for the visual, JonesDK! I’m guessing you’ve restarted your computer in the meantime and the thumbnails are still not showing. Correct?
As for the syncing icon next to your files, it looks like you’re seeing this one.
As a test, can you right-click on one of the files within your “Camera uploads” folder and select the “Make online-only” option? After that, please make the file available offline once again by right-clicking on it. Does the thumbnail return in this case?
