Dropbox Community ModeratorHi 1FF, it looks like you're using Dropbox for S mode, which doesn't exactly work the way our stable desktop app works.
Microsoft makes available to their customers a more locked-down version of the Windows operating system.
S mode version currently is not designed to sync an entire folder or your Dropbox. This has the advantages of not requiring unnecessary space on machines that require greater security.
If you have a computer with a supported version of Windows, you can install the full version of the Dropbox desktop application from this following link, after you switch from S mode.
I'd recommend you to use the full version of the Dropbox desktop application to take full advantage of its syncing capabilities and exceptional features for the best possible experience.
If you have any questions, let me know!
