You may put the copy commands all in a small shell script which you can run after you notice that dropbox has updated itself. Start dropbox again, and the folder icons should have changed to the ones you wanted. It might be wise to make a backup of the originals. Now copy name.icns and to the above mentioned directory overwriting the folder icons you which to change. We revert this with xxd and thus create the content of the resource fork as data of a file. The command xattr reads out the content of the resource fork, but dumps it in hexadecimal form. We can do this with a combination of xattr and xxd: xattr -p name.icns | xxd -r -p > The difficulty is that it must be copied in binary format. Then we have to get that resource fork copied into a file. Which creates a resource fork for this file and stores the image there. Then do the following for each of them: sips -i name.icns Suppose, you have replacement images and have made them into. DropboxViewNameOnlySharedFolderIconYosemite.icns.DropboxTeamMemberFolderIconYosemite.icns.
DropboxReadOnlyTeamFolderIconYosemite.icns.DropboxReadOnlySharedFolderIconYosemite.icns.DropboxCameraUploadsFolderIconYosemite.icns.There are currently the following folder icons: The latter prevents the simple solution, which worked for years, to simply replace the foldericon.icns files.Ĭaveat: If you install Dropbox on a machine with several user accounts, the app which actually runs is a copy of this one stored in ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dropbox.
There, you will find two files for each folder icon, a foldericon.icns file and a file. The Dropbox app stores its icons in Dropbox.app/Contents/Resources. It is not possible to prevent Dropbox from overwriting individual folder icons for shared folders. It only partially solves the original question, as I can only replace the default folder icon for shared folders. Unfortunately, one has to do this after every update of Dropbox. The following works for me on macOS Catalina 10.15.4. But since the behaviour of dropbox gets increasingly annoying as it now even replaces the folder icon of the base Dropbox folder, I tried to resolve this.
