How to remove "green bird" on the icons of files and folders?

How to remove or make invisible the "green bird" on the icons of files and folders?

  • They'll be visible whenever the Dropbox application is running.

     

    So, I must stop Dropbox application.

    O.K.

    Hey Xan_Sedov, welcome to the Dropbox Community!

     

    Would you mind clarifying what you mean by "green bird"?

     

    A screenshot would definitely help us look into this, if you can send one.

     

    Thanks.

    Dropbox has no option to remove the icon overlays. They're used to show you the sync status of your files. They'll be visible whenever the Dropbox application is running.
