I had a working work-around for this issue by making a so-called junction point to the dropbox folder. This is a link to a folder that looks and feels like the folder itself. This served two things: 1) The junction point folder link provides a shorter dropbox folder name (D:\MyFolder instead of e.g. C:\Users\YYZ\Dropbox\MyFolder) 2) NO dropbox sync overlays over the file/folder-icons. HOWEVER SINCE THE LAST DROPBOX UPDATE THE ICON OVERLAY NOW ALSO APPEARS IN THE JUNCTION LINK OF THE FOLDER! So instead of doing something about this issue, they are making it even worse.
