    It's not a Dropbox icon. It's from OneDrive. You likely have OneDrive and Dropbox trying to sync the same data, which will never work correctly.

I get these brown file boxe icons on my dropbox files that prevents me from opening my files.  Does anyone know what causes this?  I use Windows 11 Version 10.0.22000.  Would greatly appreciate help.
