    Hey Davide! Apologies for the late reply. 

     

    The specific syncing icons that you see indicate that your files have been set as online-only, to help you save up hard drive space on your device. You can also click here to see more details on the Mac syncing icons.

Hi dvd2, and thanks for posting on our forum.

 

I’ve passed your feedback on to our team, so that they’re aware of this and they can take your comments into consideration. 

 

However, if you can no longer see the green checkmark next to your files on the Dropbox app, please let me know and we can look into this further. 

 

Keep me updated and Happy New Year!

Hi Nancy, here the green-check situation upgraded to cloud-icon.

I must click on cloud-icon to download files and folders.

      I must to set it on right click on folders. Big surprise (in attachment)! 

       

      Maybe this option could be more clear in the preferences panel.
