My files have no sync icons, why?

Hello,

none of my files uploaded on dropbox have synchronization icons. I tried as advised on the site to close all applications other than Dropbox, then quit and relaunched the Dropbox desktop application, nothing worked. Do you have any idea how to display these icons? Many thanks

    Hi thomasweil, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Is the Dropbox desktop application currently running and syncing normally? What OS version are you running?

     

    Could you attach a screenshot showing the desktop app open on your device?

     

    This will help me to assist further!
