Hi mevacor19, thanks for posting on the Community!

 

Currently, it isn’t possible to amend the icon for the Dropbox folder. We implemented a fix in a new version of the Dropbox desktop application that ensures consistent folder icons in the Dropbox folder.

 

This means that you may see that the ability to set custom folder icons has been removed

 

Hope this helps to clarify matters!

    Thanks.
