    Gidday Walter, I've rebooted my laptop a couple of times, and it appears that the issue is now resolved.  Obviously the app on the phone was causing my problems.  Thanks again for your help.

So, I've deleted Dropbox from my phone, and now just using it on my laptop. My phone was the only other device linked to that folder. I'll have another look shortly to see if the folder is still populating.  Thanks, and I'll let you know how I go.
