I have added custom folder icons to some of the folders in my Dropbox. I would like this to get synced across devices, but it seems that it does not. Is there a way to get custom icons to sync with Dropbox?
On Windows XP (if mind serves me right) I think I could use desktop.ini files in a folder to set some preferences. Perhaps there is something similar for Mac?
Your icon files are stored in the .DS_Store file located in each folder. This file is what contains the metadata of the folder including the custom icon, the icon spacing, etc.
Drop Box, does not sync this particular file. According to their help guide .DS_Store is ignored:
This means that your custom icon won't get synced. You will have to create the custom icon manually.
