Dropbox and Parallels

My Mac (iOS 10.12.6) is running Parallels (v15.1.4) so I have a Virtual Machine of Windows 10 Home.   I have Dropbox installed and it shows like this on my Mac: but it shows on the PC side...

Quick follow up here as the screenshot wasn't visible at first bobv.

 

Could you reboot your machine and let me know if you still can't get the mentioned buttons to show up?

 

Is the app installed on this machine with admin privileges?

No change after rebooting.  Option/Alt has no affect on the Accounts tab on the Mac side.

 

It still says that it is syncing the same number of files.

 

I installed many moons ago but I have only had this syncing problem in the last few months.  Is there a way to tell if it is installed with admin privileges?
