3 years agoHi anonymous, I'd be happy to help!
When you say that your files in the Dropbox folder aren't available anymore, do you mean that they're not available offline? If you meant something different is happening, be sure to let me know.
Have you tried following these steps, in order to make your folders, and files available offline?
As for the new icons for macOS, feel free to take a look into this Help Center article.
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!

Hi anonymous, I just merged your second post, under the first thread you used, in order to post your query. Now, what you described sounds like you're syncing an online-only file, and making it available offline, is that the case?
Can you send me a couple of screenshots, in order for me to have a clear visual of the behavior you mentioned?
