Hi Roga41
I've now explained three times that according to those definitions all of my files should have a solid green circle as they were all created on my laptop and then synced to the server, and are all synced and up to date.
So how can I find out why, ever since. I upgraded Dropbox for Windows, most of them have had a green border round a white circle?
Please don't make me repeat myself again.
Many thanks

Also if I go into Preferences on the Desktop app, and then select Selective Sync Settings, all my folders are checked, So all the files in them should have a solid green circle, and none should have a green border round a white circle.
If I copy a new file to my Dropbox folder, it gets a solid green circle. It's only the majority (but not all) of my old files that have green border round a white circle, which they've had ever since I upgraded the Desktop app.
As Rachel L. pointed out, this appears to be due to a bug in the latest version of Dropbox for Windows.
