Sync icon missing in finder

Hi,    I use to see sync icons in the finder on my mac. Now the dropbox app on my computer is not showing these icons, so it's very hard to tell what is synced locally versus what is synced online ...

    Oddly enough, this has been a problem for weeks, but as soon as I go to message the community, it starts working again. I now see the sync icons in my finder window. All is well with the world! Thank you for the follow up.

Hi wecine, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Is the Dropbox desktop application showing up in the menu bar?

 

When you hover over it, does any message appear?

 

This will help me to assist further!
