Those cardboard boxes (icons) come from One Drive and not Dropbox L_ 

Have you tried temporarily disabling it or even uninstalling it to see how it goes?

No.

I never wanted to use OneDrive, but it came in handy when I changed computers and all my Documents came over magically, VS Templates and a bunch of game stuff that gets saved.

I've done literally nothing with OneDrive, so this is all just automatic stuff.

But, I've just noticed now with the stable version of Dropbox, in Dropbox, I have the same carboard boxes, and see the path is 'C:\Users\USER\Dropbox', no OnePath. Strange.

The beta version eliminated all cardboard boxes, tho I didn't notice them in earlier versions.

You could ultimately just tell me none of this matters and not to worry. I just thought you'd have some insight.
