My folder icons seem to go through change. I have several that have changed from plain folders to folder that include an image of three silouettes. Others have small white boxes in the lower left corner. I can't find an explanation anywhere. Can someone help? It seems to affect the ability of Dropbox to function.
Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), SSD, i7, 16 megs ram

Is this the DropBox in the Public folder or the DropBox app?
The folders are not in a Dropbox folder. I have them linked to Dropbox via a symlink created by MacDropAny. They can appear normal, but then they take on the characteristic as described and syncing is a problem.
You can see the myseterious trio of people which looks like the folder is being shared, but it is not.
Thanks for your help!
MacDropAny added these images.
You can't physically move the Documents folder so MDA is using the symlink to mirror the files. You can contact the author for help: http://www.zibity.com/macdropany-help.html
You should not be syncing your entire Documents folder. Some folders cannot be synced to DropBox like the Microsoft User Data folder for example.
I suggest you create your own "documents" folder in DropBox then save files to this location rather than the default Documents folder.
You can put an alias of the DropBox "documents" folder in Documents so you can easily see all files in one view.
I want to be able to sync my documents to Dropbox without having two copies on the hard drive. I'll mess around with this a little. Thanks.
