How can I switch off the checkmark icon?
HOW DO YOU TURN OFF THE ICON CHECKMARK
Yes, I like the icons without the checkmark. With the checkmark everything is green.

Dropbox StaffI took a screen shot but not sure it's attached. The issue is that with the "icon checkmark" it is very hard to see the original icon when viewing files in "detail view mode". All you see is the little green checks icons everywhere. The best example is a word doc file vs an excel xls file. The word file has a blue icon and the excel files have a green icon. With sync files it's all green checks. Why have the icons at all.
When I am in Dropbox I know that 99.9999% of all my files are synced. I only need to know when a file isn't synced.

David G.133, that's not currently possible. There is no supported method to remvoe the overlay icons. There are hacks to remove them, but the Dropbox application will just restore them.
