Sure!

Yes I have you the screenshots

 

OneDrive have no Problems right now. I have you the Pictures with the Synchro Icons

 

The next Pictures is how I see it on my partners PC and the next are, well, usual folders because I don't see that synchro icons on my desktop from dropbox

 

So how I can get the synchro icons from DropBox on  my device?
