Dropbox Community ModeratorHey Dave_Rado, thanks for posting to our Community.
I'll be happy to clarify the new sync icons on your Windows computer.
Regarding the solid green circle with a white checkmark, it means that your files is fully synced and available offline, just like before.
Regarding the white circle with a green border and a green checkmark, it means that the file was in in an online-only state and by opening it (either directly or through a 3rd party app), it changed states and now it's available.
If you want all of them to be available offline, like they were before, just select all your files, right-click and choose "make available offline"; that should give them all the solid green circle icon and download them to your hard drive.
Let me know if you have more questions or if that's not the behavior you're seeing on your end.
Thanks!
