Hi Jay,
I omitted to point out an ambiguity - cos you didn't specify which file-source to obtain that data from. So I now clarify what I did.

Hello Dropbox Staff, 17 /01/2024)
Haven’t received another email from you guys. Not sure why?
Might this unexpected (new) event, give any useful insight?
I happened to click on the Dropbox icon; at the Top-Left corner of my ‘Documents List.’
In this (new) view, all Folders in the Right-column have a Green-dot with a ‘white-tick’ in it.
Which includes all the Folders, that aren’t visible in the screen shot below.
Question:
- Does that indicate they’re Folders, still targeted for upload to Dropbox? When space becomes available?
- Also, none of the 4 emails sent to me by Dropbox Staff, asked for a screenshot – of the above view!
- Would this view have helped sort out, the auto-uploading of my files to Dropbox?

All folders with a green tick mean that they are fully synced to the Dropbox site, and that they also taking up space on your local machine.
