Hello everyone! It seems the custom icons aren't appearing after selection. Normally I go to Properties, then Folder icons, change the icon, and it works. But now it keeps showing the default folder icon instead. I've refreshed, restarted, but Windows still doesn't recognize the command. Any suggestions? Thanks! EDIT *added Dropbox to the title*

Is it Windows 10? I’m having trouble getting them to function on that version.

It might be because I'm viewing on a 4K screen with a 17-inch laptop. The scaling setting around 237% could be messing up the icons I chose.

I omitted noting that the folders containing the custom icons reside within my Dropbox directory. Are others experiencing the same problem?

If someone encounters the same problem, I discovered this on the Dropbox forums link provided. Many users seem to be experiencing similar issues after a recent update. Fingers crossed it gets fixed soon.
