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

Dropbox StaffHey 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.

Your other 5 computers haven't yet received the update for Windows. When they do, they'll have the same status column. There's no way to revert back to the previous behavior, and this is a change that's likely being driven more by Microsoft and the newer features of Windows 11, rather than Dropbox.
Is there a way to set it up so it shows little green check boxes nest to the files/folders. See below snippet for example of how other computers look.
