Blue arrows on CC symbol in macOS menubar

The blue sync arrow symbol on top of the CC icon in the macOS menubar reapper infrequently – I rarely, if ever, user Files or Libraries. Most often, this happens before or after an update. I’ve tried the reset shortcut, uninstalling, using the CC Cleaner Tool, solving the problem, but only temporarily. Opening the Files tab helps, too – sometimes there’s a blue dot on there, even if I have not changed any cloud documents whatsoever. It’d be great if there was anything I could do to keep this annoying clutter away.

    Yes, I know – however, it appears independent of whether I modified any files, an does not go away on it’s own; only when doing the steps described in my post does it go away, until the next time it appears without any obvious reason.

    what bothers you? the blue arrow or the lack of the arrow?

    Sorry I wasn’t clear on that – the blue arrow is what bothers me, especially because I cannot find any understandable reason for it’s appearances.

    there’s something trying to sync.  eg, there may be a problematic file.
