It sounds like we have the exact same problem. I have not found any solution, contacting support gave me what I believe was a bot answer that mentioned general information about conflicted copies, not really considering my question, and then marking the issue as solved.
For me, the behaviour stops if I pause sync form the Dropbox app drop down menu.

Renaming, deleting and double checking them multiple times every day is a big bump in my workflow and I've simply put Dropbox syncing on a permanent pause. I'm looking into alternatives and will probably have to transfer if I can't find a solution to this.
