Sorry for jumping in, shastings and phafa. Before investigating further, I’d suggest reinstalling the Dropbox app on your devices.

Hi-- I am willing to do this, but with close to 100K files that I am often sharing with clients, doing a reinstall is highly disruptive to my workflow, as everything will need to repopulate back in my DB folder. In addition, I currently have many folders set as online-only by having gone through File Explorer, right-clicked and selected Online Only. I am guessing that I will lose ALL of those location preferences/settings regarding online only files once I uninstall. Is this correct?
