Windows 11 Smart Sync Icons Missing

Hi I'm on Windows 11 and Smart Sync works fine, the icon overlays in Explorer just don't show up. Except for one thing: If a file is Online Only, then it has this (non-dropbox?) icon:     ...
desktop
edit
GUI
sync

Hi bjehrenreich, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

This appears to be a Windows icon, and isn't related to Dropbox itself. 

 

You can see how many overlays you have by checking this thread.

 

If you need any further assistance, please let me know!
