For the second one the issue is that the folder structure has #'s in the structure.
The first one I reckon is too long a folder name - try renaming it to something smaller.

This error is expanding like an epidemic on my Dropbox. As I have already reported, I found the same problem on some Excel files.
I have to remove all the files I use for work from Dropbox until the problem is resolved. I can not afford to lose them.
And it is also certain that if this problem continues I will have to interrupt my subscription with Dropbnox.
If I can help, I would investigate the compatibility between Dropbox and the latest build of Windows 10(1809), because I think it is presented just after the arrival of the new Build of the OS.

I had an issue with Jpeg files being corrupted last summer. I ended up creating a new Dropbox folder and putting my jpeg files in there and having no further problems. I went around in circles with Dropbox Support, who wanted to blame everything on jpeg files created on a Mac computer. Try creating a new folder in yoru Dropbox and putting the files there. I would always keep a back up copy.
