To add onto what Rich said,

Regarding your Ugreen NAS, Dropbox does not support placing the Dropbox folder on a NAS or syncing directly to one. Doing so can lead to sync issues or corrupted files. 

If you want a NAS copy, the safest option is to let Dropbox sync normally to your computer, then use your NAS’s own backup or sync feature to mirror that local folder independent of Dropbox.
