I am gonna say what everyone else is thinking.....that is a poor solution support offered. 

I have 1000's of folders,  do you think I really have time to rename the folders and analyze the contents.

Ditto - lots of folders and the explanation offered does not add up  - no one else is working on these folders and as noted above this has occurred with folders I haven't touched in some time.

    Hey guys,

     

    I had this issue too where I had folders saying item conflict and think I've just resolved it. 

    Turns out I essentially had at some point copied folders so there was more than one of the exact same thing in my Dropbox which it didn't seem to like.

    I got rid of the copies and now it looks like everything is syncing online nicely.

    Hope this helps.
