Finder not displaying Extension indicators on Mojave

Since I've upgraded to Mojave I'm experiencing a problem with Finder not displaying the file status indicators for various extensions including OneDrive, Dropbox, Box and Creative Cloud. It's fine for iCloud, but these others aren't showing anything.

When I uploaded to the latest version of Mojave 10.14.2 it showed the Box indicators briefly, but then they disappeared.

I've seen when I search on this that it's not an uncommon experience out there and I've tried the various options suggested such as switching on/off in System Preferences/Extensions, relaunching Finder, starting in Safe Mode, et al, but to no avail.

Is there a reset option for Finder?

Well, as far as Dropbox, it has to be open to see the indicators. Since I don't have any of the others installed I can't say anything further. I do think having so many cloud apps could interfere with each other.

Thanks for your thoughts Dialabrain, although it is open and the Finder extension activated.

Having so many cloud apps shouldn't interfere with each other, in fact that is the point, to be able to have many cloud services interacting seamlessly with each other. Also, prior to Mojave they were all working harmoniously together. 😊

Appreciate your input.
