Have you tried enabling hidden files to show on your computer and try again mikemohr?

 

What about searching for this file on dropbox.com?

I have enabled/looked through all hidden files on my local Dropbox folder as well as searching for “localized” on the Dropbox website and found nothing in either event. I’d be happy to try and share my screen if you have ideas.

    Are you using Thunderbird as your mail provider by any chance, given the info from this thread?

     

    Have you tried searching for the localized file in Finder directly on your whole machine?

        If you're not able to locate it, then it wouldn't be possible to resolve this behavior. Have you enabled hidden files in Finder to try searching for the file that way?
