Turn off Shell Icon Overlay Identifiers

[L. M.1]

I understand why you have them, but there should be an option to turn them off. I have my Windows Desktop within DropBox, and they get in the way. I keep turning them off via Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers or using autoruns, but they keep reappearing.

The user is right.

If this was a new topic then I would accept your response. However, multiple users have requested this many, many times before and DropBox has never done more than a polite "We hear you". Do you really?

Please explain why this option has not been incorporated years ago, and there are multiple pages on this. However, because of how you update they are not robust.
