On-line only folders start syncing out of nowhere
Hey there, I don't know what board this should be placed under because none of them seem fitting for the issue I'm having. So I just installed a new SSD and did a clean install of all my main program...
The original ticket ID is 21211135. I shut down the computer last night and after rebooting today the status says up to date. Now in a few days it will start automatically syncing a lot of folders on it's own.
I'm using Win 10
Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045
I have Trend Micro antivirus and Malware bytes pro for antivirus. I've been using both for a while with no problems until recently.

Dropbox Community ModeratorHi Squick55, are these folders that you might have work files in them?
When you try to open a document, do you open it from Explorer/Finder, or by navigating via the app itself?
It's all personal files. Like I said, this has never happened before. If I set something to nonline only, it stayed that way. But now it's about once a week and seems to be the same folders each time I think. And it's not all the folders either, seems to just be a certain few. I don't do a whole lot lately either. The main thing I do is save screenshots of my trading for journaling but that's really about it. I may have to use selective sync and un-sync a lot of the stuff that it's happening to. Problem is, I shouldn't have to. When I set it to Online only it should stay that way.
Sorry about not answering the other question, I use file explorer. If I click the dropbox icon in the start menu it just opens explorer anyways so not sure what you mean by opening it in the app itself. There's either the option to use the website in m browser or use file explorer. The only app I'm aware of is the mobile app. What other app is there?
