    Fixed it!! During the Dropbox install, tick “Opt out of Dropbox for Windows Update,” sync again, and it’s back to normal.

I'm trying to understand how you're working. Do you mean that you have Dropbox installed on a computer being used as a server, and that you're accessing the Dropbox files from another computer through a folder shared from the server?

Are all the files on the server computer marked as available offline? After you open a file on the server itself, can you then open the same file on one of the client computers?
