As previously mentioned, I'm on Windows 10 {Build 2004} and Linux {Mint 20 Cinnamon}. On Windows 10, looks like I was upgraded last night to Dropbox Ver. 108.4.453. Same issue as my screenshot above. Dropbox has full permissions and the folder is confirmed NOT to be "read only" attribute, in Windows, for the entire Dropbox folder, not just the subfolder. I tried gmail and yahoo linked accounts, same error.
