    Hi there Edward Alan and GrandpaW,

     

    We've released an expected fix in our Beta Build 192.3.4492.

     

    PS: auto-updates for this are available to everyone who chose "Include me on early releases" on the Settings page.

     

    Let us know if you have rolled out this version and still see these characters

     

    Thanks,

    Sam

Hey moyay, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

This is indeed pretty strange.

 

I wonder, if you go to your Dropbox preferences on the desktop app, in the "general" tab, what's the language setting there?

 

Keep me posted.

My language was set to "System Language". I set it to English and I'm still getting the Chinese characters.

    Hi moyay, do you notice this behavior only when you use your Dropbox folder/content? 

     

    I would like for you to locate your Dropbox icon. It would be on the task bar, next to your WiFi and hover your mouse. That should give you the version of the app that you're using.

      Yes, only with the Dropbox app. My version is 189.4.8395.
