Q: iCloud.com Drive icons

When I open iCloud drive at home on my Mac or at work on PC the folder icons therein do not show the standard coloured icons instead a grey icon with standard application folder image rather than the image of the related application icon.  So far unable to find a way to fix this.

 

Anyone else had this problem?

MacBook Pro (17-inch Mid 2009), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)

    Hi, are we the only two in the whole world, that misses to have our "own" icons on our different folders - to show up on both our computers and in the cloud?

     

    It is indeed nice to have ones own default icons to shown up on the different folder - whenever they are opened or used.

     

    I have managed to get and icon on my default "Documents" folder on iCloud drive - and on that level the icon is shown across diffrent commuters - e.g. home and work - but on the next sub-level the icons are not shown - only on the computer from where they are inserted. I guess that is because those folders are actually also located somewhere deep inside my computer.

     

    But why can't folder icons be transferred/shown across iCloud Drive connections?

     

    Does someone plan to make an app to do that?
