    Hi Greg, as you’re on a Mac, you can check if a third-party application is causing this issue with the following steps:
     
    1. Save any files and quit ALL programs.
    2. Completely quit and close any third-party cloud service applications such as Google Drive, OneDrive, or others.
    3. Quit Dropbox:
    4. Relaunch Finder using the following steps:
      1. Click on the Apple icon in the top left of your screen
      2. Click on "force quit"
      3. Select Finder then click "Relaunch"
    5. Restart the Dropbox application.
     
    If the issue is resolved at this point, it may be due to the third-party applications running on the computer.
     
    If the issue persists, or you see that a new application is causing issues please let me know.

Hi oneswiss, welcome to our Community! 

 

Can you check for the app's syncing status, and version and write back here to let me know? Let's make sure you're not using the Beta version of the app as a first step.

 

Thank you!

The problem seems to have gone away and the icons are showing. Syncing is working. Don't know the version of the app. Probably an old one since I'm running Mojave.
