4 months agoHi there, emilyk_SAS, thanks for joining the Dropbox Community.
Basically, a selective sync conflict happens when someone removes a folder from their Dropbox folder with selective sync and then creates another folder with the same name in the same location the original folder was in.
You can read more about this in this article from our Help Center.
Unfortunately, there's no automatic way to fix these, they will have to be mended manually. Just make sure to check the contents of the folders before deleting them, to avoid losing files.
Let me know if you need help with anything else or if you have more questions.
