Hi alexanderwolfnyc, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Are the files and folders marked as available offline, or online-only, when you trying to make changes or delete files?

 

This will help me to assist further!

Hi there! Thanks for the fast reply!

 

These are all offline/fully synced files.  If it would help, I could do a mini screen record of the area of my screen where I replicate the issue.  It is very strange!

    Hi alexanderwolfnyc, thanks for clarifying, and we might need the screen recording in a while.

     

    Let me ask you to try something out first: can you quit the Dropbox app, and then try to open and take any actions (create folder, delete etc) within your Dropbox folder. When you do that, do you notice the same behavior? 

     

    Also, can you let me know the app's precise syncing status?
