I want to create Icon overlay in my synchronization app (i want the same behavior as Dropbox and google drive); i already watched the local changes using FileSystemWatcher but i can't add icon overlay according to file status; I read this article but i can't find anything related to my scenario: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/545781/NET-Shell-Extensions-Shell-Icon-Overlay-Handlers I want to change icons based on file status

Amount of Overlay icons is limited in Windows. You have 15 available slots at all. And if you have already installed Dropbox + Google Drive + OneDrive (prebuilt in windows) > you have no free slots anymore ;)
