    Hi Michael512, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Do the files all reside in a single folder, or random locations in the Dropbox folder?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

    Are you using the Dropbox API? If so, we'll move this thread to the API section so you'll get better support.

    Could you try switching browsers to see if this helps?

     

    Otherwise, you can try using incognito/private browsing mode without any extensions running, clearing your cache and even resetting your browser entirely.
