    Hey Anand_Jain, welcome to our community! 

    If your files don’t have any Dropbox icons on them, then you’re probably looking at the wrong folder. So, click on the small Dropbox icon in your system tray/menu bar (next to the time), and then click on the small folder icon. This will open your local Dropbox folder, which is the one that’s syncing to your account. 
     
    Have a look at that, and let me know how it goes. 
    Thanks!
