Can you change the size of the sync icons on files in File Explorer?

[Cobalt Praetorian]

The DropBox sync icons are enormous, distracting, and unhelpful (see below). Win11, brand-new current year laptop, 4k resolution.

This does not happen on my desktop PC.

How can I reduce the size of these icons to a more manageable level?

Thanks for posting to the Dropbox Community today, @Cobalt Praetorian.

The size of the sync icons on your files in File Explorer cannot be altered, I'm afraid.

I will, however, pass your comments about this to our team, so they can take it into consideration for any upcoming updates.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

That doesn't explain at all why the icons are a more manageable and non-ridiculous size on my desktop that has the same resolution and version of DropBox, viewed with the same options.

Hi @Cobalt Praetorian, do you have a custom DPI/resolution or viewing method for the Explorer window?

[Cobalt Praetorian]

No, just the standard 4k (3840x2160) on both desktop and laptop.

What view are you using in Explorer to view your files and folders?

[Cobalt Praetorian]

See below for a screenshot. This is the same on both systems (I made sure, just in case there was some difference I wasn't seeing that might be causing the problems).

@Cobalt Praetorian, can you try to reinstall the Dropbox app on the device that has this issue and let me know if you see any difference?

[Cobalt Praetorian]

I'll try that ASAP.
