Re: Sync icons are no longer visible after Dropbox update on Windows
Having this issue. All the above steps are not working. So glad I switched to Windows from Mac. I love troubleshooting Windows issues in my precious spare time 😒

I DO NOT have this option after updating Dropbox from the website
I fixed this by rearranging (renaming) the shellconoverlayidentifiers.
Go to Registry Editor.(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers)
Rename each Dropbox registry by adding spaces at the beginning of the filename. I used 3 spaces for each entry.
Close registry and get your icons back.
