Custom Dropbox Folder Icons with Flexibility

You can personalize your Dropbox folder icons to make your files more visually appealing and easier to identify. Custom icons can be created using the Dropbox API.

Having multiple icons for different folders can make organizing your files a breeze. With the right icons, you can quickly spot the type of file or project you're working on.

Dropbox's API allows you to create custom icons that are tailored to your specific needs. This means you can create icons that match your brand or personal style.

Making icon changes stick can be a challenge, especially when working with folders like Dropbox. The issue is that some icons, like the Dropbox folder icon, don't retain the replaced images after a reboot.

The problem seems to be a reset or refresh happening somewhere, but the exact location is unclear. Fortunately, a user discovered a workaround to make icon changes stick.

To achieve this, you need to access the Dropbox app's package contents and replace the original icon file with your customised one. This involves right-clicking the Dropbox app icon, selecting 'Show Package Contents', and then browsing to the Resources folder to find the "DropboxFolderIconYosemite.icns" file.

Some icons, like the Dropbox folder icon, don't retain their new images after a reboot in macOS High Sierra. This is because both Dropbox and Google Drive (Backup and Sync) refresh their folder icons at startup.

The good news is that you can get around this issue. To make icon changes stick, you need to modify the icon file used by the app.

Here's a step-by-step guide to saving your icon changes:

The last step is crucial, as it prevents the image from reverting back to the original.

To change the icon size in Windows 8.1, simply right-click on the desktop and select "View" and then "Large icons".

If you want to change the icon size for all folders, you'll need to change the icon size in the Folder Options.

To do this, go to Control Panel, click on Appearance and Personalization, and then click on Folder Options.

From there, click on the View tab and select the icon size you want to use.

For Windows 8.1, you can also use the built-in "Reset" button to quickly reset all folder views to their default settings.

This can be a convenient option if you're having trouble getting your folder views to stick.
