Hi marcosscriven,

The problem you're reporting is an old issue already. Even bigger issue is fact that nobody from Dropbox development take care. Seems like multi-platform support is not a priority anymore. There where always some features supported on one platform, but unsupported on other (or with restricted support). Until recently the different level of support didn't break syncing process, at least. In recent application versions conflicting changes seems to be introduced which violate syncing process. There are application attributes supported only by one or another application version/platform and confuse one or all others - definite conceptual bug. That's it... 😡 unfortunately. Take a look here.

Good luck to all of us.
