Key or ledgend to various Dropbox Icons
Hello,
This may already be covered in another post but I couldn't find anything. I am trying to find a simple go-to legend of the various icons Dropbox uses. I have a new computer and the icons all look different. I would simply like to know what they all mean. I am referring to the symbol next to the document on my computer; also the icon for the app itself looks different. I can't tell if my stuff is sync'd or not but it says it is.
LABELS: icon legend, icon key, symbol legend, symbol key
Thank you for any help with this.
Hi csadler, thanks for messaging the Community!
I believe you're referring to the sync icons. There are two articles that help describe what they mean, one for Windows and Linux, and another for Mac devices.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
