Blue Sync Icons appear on my Win 10 Desktop Files
On occasion, blue sync icons will appear on files and shortcut links that are located on my Win 10 Desktop. None of the files are related or stored in Dropbox. What is causing this. The only way t...
I had the same issue on my Win 10 pc. I had recently shared a video in dropbox to a friend and this popped up shortly after. So I assumed it was a drop box thing. I did an F5 (Refresh) on the desktop and they all went back to the Windows "Shortcut" icon on all the files (which explains why you restarting fixed this). So I think something gets messed up in Windows and it has to do with any file that is a shortcut on your desktop. Files native to the desktop folder didn't have this icon or a shortcut icon. Hope this helps!
Not really helpful. Over 100 Apps loaded in background in a Win 10 environment. Really need something I can work with. No one has seen this before? Why would an Icon that is particular to Dropbox show up on my desktop and it not be a DropBox issue. Not saying it is not a Dropbox issue confuses me. Has to be. Who else would want to usurp a Dropbox icon and employ it. Really need some critical thinking from DropBox people.
