I am running Tahoe for my MacOS. In the Finder Sidebar, the icons for my external SSDs are appearing as Hookmark icons rather than a SSD icon. How do I fix this?
Mac mini, macOS 26.0
Hookmark is an app that is installed on my computer. The only way to get rid of the Hookmark icons is to go to System Settings > Extensions > Hookmark, and then click the "i" button (information). Then turn off "File Provider" and then relaunch the Finder. As you can see from the screenshot below, turning off the File Provider disables the ability to "see local files and remote storage files in one view in Finder." It's not the end of the world by disabling that, but it would be nice if I didn't have to disable the Finder Provider feature in Hookmark.
I realize I can also hide the icons of the SSDs in the sidebar, but again, that's not really fixing the root problem.
You asked if this affects performance in any way. No, it doesn't; it's just a little bit of a nuisance.
Since this problem randomly affects users and since the "wrong" icon can be from any of a number of applications, it's hard to image that developers are the culprit. They'd all have to be doing the same wrong thing.
Also the same problem after updating to Tahoe 26.1. In my case the drive icons in the sidebar are showing up as Creative Cloud icons. So far, all the fixes I've tried haven't helped. Not happy with the new UI in Tahoe!
Sorry, but I tried relaunching the Finder and that didn't fix the problem.
I have the same problem, except the icons that show on my external drives are for a photography app called DxoRaw.
I just updated to Tahoe 26.0.1 and that didn't change anything.
Same problem here, but with the New File Menu app...
Same here, but with Sentinel One
There is really no basis for claiming that the app(s) need to be updated. Given what we do see reported, we do not have enough information to know what is wrong.
If this could possibly have any relevence, I have the same wrong DxO PureRaw icon on the sidebar.
I just submitted this as a bug to Apple Feedback.
Same issue but with Sync.com app icon.
@mhtemple - Since upgrading to Tahoe I have the same issue, with the DxO PureRaw icon displaying beside each external disk in Finder
I'll try that and get back to the group, since I have th same issue.
Similar discussion on the DxO forum, where the DxO icon has taken over the disk drive icon on the finder sidebar:

Screen shot certainly would help clarify the situation what it is you see ....
Drive icons have been upgraded in Tahoe yes, but with your limited information it is hard to speculate here.
where Locations?
not sure what is Hookmark icons ?
Does this effect performance in any way?
Relaunch the Finder and compare your results...
>Force Quit>Finder >Relaunch
To be proactive you can file a bug report / submit your Apple Feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple

I make no apology for suggesting relaunching the Finder in my first post above. Easy enough, no harm done and does sort anomalies with Finder.
However, in your case with your added information & screen shots— I will say I can not account for your third party app.
If there is interference here with normal operation I would suggest you contact the developer assistance—
if in doubt search the developers website or contact their: Support/Help/FAQ/Known issues/compatibility/updates…
Contact a third-party vendor - Apple Support
