dropbox filestatus unwatched for all files in Dropbox directory

Hi Stephen B.25,
In you particular case symlink or binding - doesn't matter. The issue comes from the fact that the Dropbox daemon make a literal comparison between queried path and watched files/folders path, not inode comparison! That's why, even the same, a file could be shown with different status because beginning of the path is different. :nerd:
If you want to, can try mount a partition, you use in your home and move Dropbox folder there, if is more convenient for you. Be very careful, in such move! Take care not to left Dropbox application without available actual Dropbox folder place, even for a moment; this can lead to data loss!
Good luck.
At the beginning, is Dropbox application running? :thinking:
What is the result from:
dropbox status
:wink: Try:
dropbox start
