    Hey Berryth, welcome to our Community! 

    Rich is absolutely correct here; this isn't one of our icons. 

    If you want to find out more in regards to the Dropbox icons, you can have a look into this article. 

    Let me know if you have any questions.

        Hi Dallexx, do you have OneDrive installed on your machine? If you quit that app temporarily, do those yellow icons go away, or change to another icon?

      Hi,

       

      I posted here because it is on almost all files and many folders within the dropbox folder.

      Haven't seen it on any other syncing service like OneDrive or GDrive.

    That's not a Dropbox icon. I believe it's from OneDrive.

        Hey Elsje Joubert, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

         

        I just wanted to clarify that these icons are not coming from Dropbox, but probably from One Drive.

         

        You can have a look at this page for more information. 

         

        Hope this helps!
