    Hi meetloaf13, thanks for posting today!

    Could you try checking the Dropbox folder on your machine and see if you can navigate to the file that is trying to upload by following the blue syncing icons :arrows_counterclockwise:? 

    If you locate the file, could you try moving it out of the Dropbox folder and then back in again to see if this helps?

The app says it is a read-file only, and it suggests to change the properties, but actually the file does not exist anymore on the dropbox website.

Any suggestion is more than welcome!
