Dropbox StaffHey there Gregory ( Gregory C.3) - how are you today?
I just wanted to add my two cents on this one. Is it possible that you're on a Windows computer?
If so, and you're seeing that your files and folders are underlined (or underscored as you mentioned) but with no change on their names and paths it might be due to a specific folder setting (that's handled by your computer's OS of course, not Dropbox).
If that is indeed the case, you can remove the underline by following these steps:
- Open Control Panel.
- Choose File Explorer Options (should be on Small icons view to see it).
- Under Click items as follows, click Underline icon titles only when I point at them or Double-click to open an item.
- Click Apply, then OK.
I'm not sure if this is what you were looking for but I hope this information helps.
Let us know of any updates!
