Hey,

No, I do not see the sync icon on files and folders on the win10 PC. I also don't see them on the Win7 PC which does work ok.
The sync icons are visable on a MAC though.

We just tested it on our devices here. The only two possibilities for the context menu to not appear is if we're not looking in the Dropbox folder, or if the Dropbox desktop application isn't running (or working as it should).
As you've mentioned that both are not true, we'll need you to write in to our support team to investigate further. You can write a ticket directly here:
