    Hi Everybody,

    Regards,

any update on this issue? I have the exact same bug on mac.

Files have an empty cloud icon next to their name, and I can't move files to Trash anymore, they get deleted immediately. I'm thinking of getting rid of Dropbox for good, seems like they're having too much control over my mac now.
