    I have already fixed this problem by full deleting dropbox and deleting folder with downloaded dropbox folder.

     

    Then I installed brand new dropbox app and made sync.

    Hi bnoize, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Have you enabled the computer backup or external drive backup feature on your account by any chance?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

    I had the same issue. Tried deleting .Trash on multiple computers, but it kept coming back, and would sync forever on Macs. Logged into my account on the Dropbox website and deleted the .Trash folder there. Fixed it.
