Missing "Available offline" icons
After I ran the December 2022 Windows 10 Version 21H2 updates, my green "Available Offline" icons disappeared in Windows Explorer for my local Dropbox drive. How can I get them back? They are invalua...
BRILLIANT!
Thanks, Walter, for this suggestion.
My problem is solved and I have my "Available offline" icons visible again.
- I caused the problem when I installed the Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Bridge on December 26th.
- In the Windows Registry, there were now too many Overlays for Dropbox to fit within the first 15.
- I uninstalled OneDrive (which I dislike and never use), and rebooted my computer.
- That activity removed OneDrive from the first 7 Overlay Positions and when I restarted explorer.exe, the Green icons were back in my Dropbox folders. The link to this post was VERY helpful in explaining the problem.
I love working with Tech Support people who know what they are doing, and can help less confident computer users like me successfully implement solutions. This issue can now be marked as Resolved.
Thank you so much, Ailis
