That's not a Dropbox icon. I believe it's from OneDrive.

Hey @Berryth, welcome to our Community! 

Rich is absolutely correct here; this isn't one of our icons. 

If you want to find out more in regards to the Dropbox icons, you can have a look into this article. 

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi,

 

I posted here because it is on almost all files and many folders within the dropbox folder.

Haven't seen it on any other syncing service like OneDrive or GDrive.

I also got them - can anyone help? This is in Dropbox for sure!

Hey @Elsje Joubert, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

I just wanted to clarify that these icons are not coming from Dropbox, but probably from One Drive.

 

You can have a look at this page for more information. 

 

Hope this helps!

I have exactly the same question. The ikon only appears in the Dropbox and it disappear when I open the file!

Hi @Dallexx, do you have OneDrive installed on your machine? If you quit that app temporarily, do those yellow icons go away, or change to another icon?
