Hi dauten​, welcome to our Community! 

Just to make sure we're aligned here, I want to ask how do you upload files using our desktop app? 

Do you open your local Dropbox folder in File Explorer and add your files there? 

Please hover your mouse over the little Dropbox icon in your taskbar, next to your WiFi and click the little Dropbox icon. From there click the little folder icon on the top right part. That should redirect you to your local Dropbox folder. Can you confirm this is the same path that you use in order to upload your files? 

Provided that's the case then feel free to send me a couple of screenshots of your Dropbox folder, and syncing status in order for me to have a visual. 

Let me know more, and we'll take it from there.
