I am having a similar problem. This is very annoying. When I started using Dropbox ca. a decade ago, it was top notch. Since then these kinds of problems have reared their ugly head for the past few years when I've used Rewind. Fortunately, I have some hard disk backups (usually), so I can recover things.

I've stopped telling my students to use it, and just go with OneDrive or GoogleDrive.
