Hi Megan, 

Thanks for your reply. Below is my Dropbox version info. I did try uninstalling and re-installing the app, which didn't help. 

Dropbox daemon version: 215.4.7202 
Dropbox command-line interface version: 2024.04.17

Hi from me too, qingliang! Please keep in mind that the ability to make files online-only on the desktop app is currently only available for Windows and Mac users.

As for the sync icons you mention though, do you mean that you’re not seeing any of the icons that are listed in this Help Center article? Are you seeing this triangle for all of your files/folders?

Feel free to send me a full screenshot of what you see in your local Dropbox folder (just hide anything that you don’t want publicly visible on the forum).

    Hi Nancy, thanks for your reply. Finally, I figured out that the KDE theme I am using does not work well with Dropbox. It worked well after I changed the KDE theme to another. Thanks for all the replies. Sorry, I am not sure how to close this discussion......
