Sync icon missing in finder
Hi, I use to see sync icons in the finder on my mac. Now the dropbox app on my computer is not showing these icons, so it's very hard to tell what is synced locally versus what is synced online ...
Oddly enough, this has been a problem for weeks, but as soon as I go to message the community, it starts working again. I now see the sync icons in my finder window. All is well with the world! Thank you for the follow up.

Dropbox StaffHi wecine, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Is the Dropbox desktop application showing up in the menu bar?
When you hover over it, does any message appear?
This will help me to assist further!

No worries, let us know if you experience this issue again in the future!
It was and there was no message. But it seems to be working now.
Okay -- it's happening again. I open up my FINDER and inside the dropbox folder, there are no icons the indicate the sync status.

Hey wecine, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
If you happen to have 3rd party apps running on your computer, could you have a look at this discussion and let me know if any of the info there helps?
