I have this exact same issue. Any folder that has even just one file saved online only is now showing up with the offline cloud icon. This is REALLY problematic, since I use multiple layers in my filing system.
As others have noted, the green/white dots with the check also seem to have become a complete mess. I think in my entire 1.5 TB of files I have exactly 4 solid green dots, three of which are on top level files and one of which is on a file folder with just one file. So those have become completely useless as well. But the things showing up with a cloud when only some files in the folder are on-line only are the biggest problem.
It does the exact same thing on both my windows desktop and my surface 7. It just started in the last week or so. I'm on Windows 10 on both computers - there has been a recent Windows update, not sure if the Dropbox issue came before or after. But definitely not happy with how Dropbox is behaving.
