Well those two icons are device icons, we can't do Circle/Square icons because they would pop up in places they should not then.

Those disk launchers are a Ubuntu thing. Could you please look if there's corresponding .desktop launcher files in /usr/share/applications or $HOME/.local/share/applications?

Thanks I could find the second drive icon as file:///usr/share/icons/Numix/48/devices/drive-harddisk-usb.svg

But not the cloud account (it is my google drive which gets mounted in file roller), do not where it is inheriting from (looks like a multi-disk category)

EDIT: found, it is file:///usr/share/icons/Numix/48/places/server.svg

What we need to find is the .desktop files which determine which icon is selected. You can edit those in order to pick up different icons.

Hi. I was unable to locate correct .desktop files so following this tutorial https://www.linuxuprising.com/2019/11/how-to-hide-mounted-drives-from-dock-on.html I hid mounted drives from Ubuntu Dock (Dash to Dock).

And I am happy for now.

Leaving thread open for your comments.

PS I noticed that some icon themes have customization for those drive types, I am not sure I really understand your

The icons in question are o app icons. So if we established Circle/Square icons there you would have pop them up in spots like your file manager, control center... places they shouldn't show up.
