Conflicted copy on a folder?
OK, I understand the principle of what creates a conflicted copy with a file, which has been updated while another user (or the same user's account on another machine) has also updated it remotely. ...
Updates at last! I can confirm that turning off syncing avoids the problem. And the problem is still only appearing on one macOS machine.
Here's the events log and a Version History for the (failed, deleted and now restored) "Level 2A - Encrypted" folder, from a new test run:
Briefly, it shows the "Level 2A - Encrypted" folder being re-added under that name (for no reason that I can detect), then deleted again, right before the encrypted folder is renamed back to "Level 2A - Encrypted"... and this still causes the folder to be renamed with "(conflicting copy)".

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for the updates, Jon! Just one thing to clarify, does the issue persist on a specific device now, or pausing the Dropbox app’s sync has resolved it in general?
