    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.

Hi,

 

I see that there already is a thread regarding "Orange box icon meaning". It seems OneDrive is conflicting with dropbox, blocking synchronisation (I cannot open the files with that orange box icon from my computer).

Problem is I do not use Onedrive and do not have it installed, which means I doubt uninstalling it will solve anything.

Is there another fix for this?

Hey drac69!

 

Just to clarify, did you go to your device's Start menu, typed in "OneDrive" and nothing appears?
