    Firstly Thank you for the fast response Rich

    okay I used to have Micro$oft OneDrive on my system however i uninstalled this in favour for Dropbox. Yes the files are syncing and updating correctly ( check local v's online copies), just wondered why the red exclamation mark was there, ah ha apparently adobe creative cloud is also trying to back up to that location as well. Uninstalled that and the folders are all green ticks again. instead of just backing up my PDF's Folder it was trying to backup the entire documents, pictures/videos and all the other stuff

    That's not a Dropbox icon. Do you have any other applications installed that use icon overlays? OneDrive or other sync software, an SVN client, etc? Is Dropbox working normally, otherwise? Files are still syncing?
