Can I remove the giant checkbox sync icons?
I'm on windows 11 and the sync icon checkboxes are so huge in explorer windows they cover most of the picture in the folder. I would like to remove them or make them smaller, but still have my folder be syncing. Who thought it would be a good idea to make those icons so big?
ah well, restarting did it.

I think you have something odd going on as they're no where near that big on mine, no matter what view I have set. Are you doing anything with custom scaling in Windows perhaps?
nope no custom scaling. everything is set to the default, recommended settings, and when I pinch zoom the checkmarks remain in the same proportion with the size of the icons

Hey elim47, welcome to our Community!
Would you mind clarifying the exact OS you're using and the version of the Dropbox app that you're using on your end too?
You can find this by hovering your mouse over the little Dropbox icon, next to your WiFi.
Also, it might sound trivial but have you tried re-starting your device at all?
