Avira Anti Virus was the app conflicting with dropbox on my machine causing sync icons to vanish.
I had to disable iCloud to get the icons back. When I logged into iCloud again, I found that \"Dropbox\" was checked as one of the apps that iCloud uses. I unchecked it. The Dropbox icons are still there in the Finder window. But when I restarted the computer, they were gone again. (Another possible culprit is that Facetime was set up to receive calls from Google Voice. I turned that off and relaunched Finder but the DB icons are still gone.) Anyway, that's enough for today...no time to look at the other 77 replies, but thanks for keeping this question open.
You can skip the rest: mostly complaining about Apple and iCloud:
Note to self, step-by-step to access photos in Dropbox: 0. Find photo(s) and make a note of location 1. Load Lastpass to get iCloud passwords, 2. Turn off iCloud in Settings, 3. Relaunch Finder 4. Go to the Dropbox folder photo 5. Mark the photo for for local access and get it someplace where I can use it.
6. Log into iCloud again (to sync my calendar, email, messages etc. with other apple devices.) 6a, b, c etc: This involves entering at least three passwords. Go through all the necessary steps to tell iCloud no, I don't want news, stocks or \"Home\" (whatever that is). Accidentally misinterpret the interface regarding \"Photos\" (not a checkbox this time, a minus sign instead, so no, do not want to buy more space (because I have Dropbox!!)
6e. Go through and limit the apps that iCloud uses. (Dropbox was one of them: maybe the source of the problem?) 6f. Deal with all the side effects on the computer and other devices of logging off and on again to iCloud.

I'm on macOS Monterey vs. 12.6 (would prefer not to update this just yet), and my Dropbox vs. is v184.4.6543.
All the sync icons have disappeared from my finder. I have tried updating Dropbox, unchecking/checking allowed Finder extensions, restarting Finder and restarting the mac. The icons disappeared from my mac alone, none of my teammates' macs are affected by this.
I am working with huge folders that I sync and unsync, I am completely dependent on this. Please advise.
