Hi mcuttler
My guess here is that the folder structure OR file name contains illegal characters to windows (such as . , ! / ; etc.)
Check for and remove those and hopefully it should appear. On the Win10 device you can also mouse over the Dropbox icon and it should give you a clue as to what errors its finding

Ok think I resolved this issue but it was not filename characters. Apparently, although GarageBand "says" it is saving the files as MP3's it actually is saving them as MP4a (which I guess is Martian for MP3). I set up and automated rule for that folder which does the conversion.
That said, thanks again for response... I got the clue when I changed filename and drop box prompted me to set up a rule.
