Dropbox folders icons keep changing on Mac.

Dropbox folders icons keep changing on Mac.

I'm on a macbook pro and on Sonoma 14.6.1  I have a number of folders containing photos for my clients to download. 

Normally, i get the little green check mark box showing it's all done. But for the past few days, i see that the folders are now showing the little 'download cloud' icon. If i click on it, i get the little circle and it downloads again and the cloud goes away. But the next day it's back. What is happening? It's not because their is no more room. 

Any feedback appreciated.

Hey @Stevord, let's jump right into this! 

 

As a first step, would you mind clarifying the Dropbox version you're using on your Mac? If you hover over your little Dropbox icon, next to your WiFi, you should be able to locate that. 

 

Also, do you use Dropbox with File Provider? If so, then your Dropbox folder should be located under ~/Library/CloudStorage. 

 

Keep me posted!

Thanks for the additional information and the screenshot too @Stevord 

 

Could you try the latest, stable version of the app from this page and let us know if this persists?

 

As for the expected changes with the Dropbox desktop app for Mac OS on File Provider, you can have a look here
