Hey johnrinek, thanks for taking the time to post here!
Are you seeing the green check mark in the white circle on files as well, instead of just folders?
Would you mind sending over some screenshots, explaining what you see, so we can have a visual as well?
Also, is syncing up to date on your Dropbox app? You can hover over the Dropbox icon in your menu bar, to check.
Thanks in advance.

Please see screenshot attached (folder names have been blacked out for security). You will see that the root folder that is selected has a cloud icon, indicating that all the files in the folder are online only. The second folder in the path also has a cloud icon, indicating that all the files in the folder are online only. The third folder in the path has mixed statuses (available offline, online only, and both). What's more, in the third folder that has the mixed statuses, the icons are also not all correct. Essentially, I have no idea what the actual status is of any of the folders or files. Some icons are correct, some aren't. It is very important for me to know which files are local on my machine and which files are online only.
Please let me know how to reset the icons to be correct without changing the actual smart sync status of my folders and files.
Thank you
John
