I'll have to admit, this seems strange; could you try re-installing our app on the affected computer using the offline installer from the page below and let me know if you're still having this issue?

If that doesn't work, please try to unlink and re-link your account following these steps (this will restore any settings which may have been changed without affecting or removing your files):
1) Right-click the Dropbox icon in the system tray by the clock.
2) Click on your profile picture or initials to the right of the search bar, and select "Preferences".
3) Select the Account tab.
4) Click the "Unlink" button in the Account tab.
5) Follow the prompt to re-enter your account information.
Your account will then take a few moments to re-index your Dropbox folder and sync any pending changes before returning to normal activity.
Let me know how this goes!
