areynoso: I just replied to your email so please take a look at your inbox for my latest message.
Niccodemure: Have you tried having those users move those files from their end (and machines)?
If you do perform those actions from their devices and still notice this, please let me know and I'll send you an email to your Dropbox associated email address to work on this together with all of our tools at my disposal and account specific information.
Thank you both for your cooperation so far!
