Only showing blue syncing icons - nothing green in Finder

After the pain of having to reinstall dropbox on my Mac, I see every file that has been downloaded only has the blue sync icon - or the in the cloud icon which is normal. But no green icons anywhere....

Could you check to see if the bandwidth limit is set to no limit, and then allow it time to sync all the files in Finder?

It was set to auto limit for uploads - no limit for download. I set both to no limit. Restarted dropbox, because it didn't seem to have an effect, but I still have the same stuck on 1760 problem.

    Hey there croqueteer - sorry to jump in here, but could you try fixing your hard-links and permissions as outlined here?

     

    If syncing gets stuck again afterwards, please send us a screenshot of the app's exact status and version as shown in your menu bar.
