Hey @ReReDouble - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

Could you please clarify your computer's exact OS version and the version and current status of the Dropbox desktop app as shown in your menu bar? 

 

If you can include a screenshot of how the files in your Dropbox folder appear on your end, I'd appreciate it.

 

Thanks!
