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...

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?

      Hi elim47  and welcome to the Dropbox Community 😊. I’m so glad to see that the sync signs are back to their normal size again (sometimes a simple restart is all you need 🔄💻).

      By the way, I’m Theresa, a Community Manager here at Dropbox HQ 👩‍💻. I’m always curious to learn how our Community members are using Dropbox, some stories can be so inspiring 🌍💡.

      If you’re open to sharing, feel free to reply here, or I’d be happy to follow up with you via email 💌.

      Looking forward to hearing from you
