Yes, my bad. I meant the folders you choose to de-select. I corrected my previous response for clarity.
I don't think that your Dropbox folder's location could be causing it, I just wanted to have an insight as to if your device is using the File Provider update.
If you can change them by right clicking on them, I think that's the best way to go about it. Could you also send me a couple of screenshots of the steps you followed on your end, and the settings you applied, if possible?
