Disable syncing status column on Windows Explorer
I have tried to disable Status column in Windows Explorer, however, it keeps coming back. Can you tell me how to permanently stop showing this column?

Thanks for the screenshot Rob M1 - much appreciated.
These columns are handled by your computer's OS and not Dropbox. Could you let us know why you'd like to disable the syncing status column on your computer?

It is in the way. Can we show the syncing a different way through our OS (windows 11)?

Hey Rob M1.
Apart from the sync status of the entire app, which can be found by hovering over the Dropbox icon in your system tray, that column is the only way to see the sync status of each file in your Dropbox.
I'll happily pass your feedback along to our team, though, so thanks for your comments.

This makes no sense. It is only happening on one of our computers. All of our other 5 computers show the status with the file name. There's got to be a solution since the other 5 computers do not have it. Please advise.
