I have one other bit of information - an anomoly and a thought about the cause of this.
1. I have a paid dropbox account and the person I share with recently upgraded to a Professional account - this happened right around the time of the weirdness.
2. I rename a shared folder that is placed in my account which then causes the original folder put in by the person with the Professional account to show it is 'deleted.' The renamed folder is still showing.
Is this caused when 2 people have different versions of Dropbox - i.e. profession vs. regular?

PERSON with PROF. VERSION INSERTS A FOLDER OF MERGED FILES NAMING "X"
I RENAME FOLDER "X" to be X xyz and download to my computer
THE WEIRD FOLDER APPEARS ON MY SYSTEM ALONG WITH THE DOWNLOADED FOLDER.

Would it be OK if I reached out via the email address that's associated with your Community's profile so we can investigate further?
