Is it possible to turn off blue check marks?

Hi everyone, I hope this isn’t a silly question.

The blue check mark that appears next to synchronized files flickers on/off constantly and is very unpleasant. I have looked through all the available information and have been unsuccessful in finding a way to turn the check marks off. Is there a fix to the flickering issue or can I turn them off completely? :slight_smile:

Right now there are no plans to allow the sync status indicators to be disabled but will keep an eye on it to see if other people have similar requests. Without the checks, there is really no way for a user to know which files are sync’d and which are not.

All that said, I’ll like to get a bit more info on what you are seeing to make sure everything is running smoothly. From the description, I can’t tell if the checks are simply changing status and the sync process runs its course or if something else might be going on. Would you be able to describe the “flicker” in a bit more detail?

Thanks

I don’t see the blue check marks next to synced folders in macOS. I also don’t see the Sync to MyCloud Home when you right click on a file name. I checked the Extensions settings and WDDesktop Finder is checked.
