Any way to change Dropbox folder icons?

It's easy enough to change folder icons on Mac, but for some reason, I can't do it for Dropbox folders. It'd be extremely helpful for navigation to be able to use custom icons! Thanks for any help.

    Hey brkrzyzanowski, thanks for joining our Community!

    I'm afraid there's no way to change the icon of the Dropbox folder or any of the folders within it at the moment.

    I hope this clears things up and please let me know if you have any other questions.
