Hey 1ncChief, sorry to jump in here, but could you clarify your devices' OS versions and the version of the Dropbox app installed there as well?

Hi Walter,

 

My main PC runs Windows 10 Home and my phone is running Android version 13.  The only other device I use regularly is a elderly family members older HP with some version of Windows OS (maybe 10?). 

 

Version 346.2.6 is what is installed on my phone. Really appreciate the help!
