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.

      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?

        I know this is an old thread and there is a lot of information about this out there but here is what I know. It maybe a "OneDrive" icon but it is only connected to Dropbox.  I have Dropbox setup along with OneDrive. Dropbox is located in the root of my C drive so OneDrive is NOT syncing that path. OneDrive only syncs Docs, Desktop,Photos. When I click on a file with this icon I can actively see Dropbox syncing when the file opens.  From my experience, if you can not open the file with this icon, make sure Dropbox is started and or log out and back in to the Dropbox app. This has fixed this issue with several of my users.
