Hello everyone
I would like to know why the icons associated with dropbox files have changed: from green with a white check mark (so that the file or folder is fully synchronized and saved locally) they have become white with green ticks (therefore that the folder contains a mixed files and folders available offline and online only, but all files are marked with this icon, not just folders!)
is it a bug? Will the icons return to the way they used to be? I would like to restore the old icons, then sync locally
Thank you all!

Hi, I'm having the same issue here. A large amount of files stored locally are now all showing a green check mark in a white circle. I have a Macbook, an iMac and a Windows machine, fully up to date. I can't figure out any scheme that would explain the icons I'm seeing. There are folders with no icon, folders with a white check mark in a green circle, and folders and files with both white check marks in green circles and green check marks in green circles, yet everything is stored locally. So only the white check marks in green circles correspond to the icon descriptions on the Dropbox website. I'm fully sync'ed. Confusing.
