I logged out and logged in again, as suggested.
It warned me that I don't have enough disk space, which I find surprising because a) there is still 31GB free out of 465GB on the disk (from C driver properties) with Dropbox folder being 192Gb of that (from Dropbox's diagnostics), b) everything was fully synched (solid green ticked circles) before the automatic Dropbox upgrade. I have not saved any large amounts of data in the last few days since the problem arose. So disk spar capacity has not chnaged.
When I logged back in, Dropbox started to index and resynch, taking several hours. Now I'm in the worse situation shown below, and none of the folders /files are the solid green ticked circles anymore. Prior to the upgrade they were all fully synched and hard disk and Dropbox cloud were the same.
