Thanks for the additional info and the screenshots, Meganemarin11.
I'll need you to let me know the exact sync status, as it appears when you hover over your Dropbox icon.
Also, did you notice that this issue appeared after some kind of update either on your computer or on the Dropbox app?
Have you restarted your computer at all?
My drop box statue is up to date.
It's been about 3 weeks, following a Mac update.
I restarted my computer, my Finder, updated dropbox, uninstalled and reinstalled drop box, did another Mac update. Nothing works. Some of my employees also have this problem.Also, when I browse my Adobe software, I see the icons, but I don't see them in the dropbox folder on my desktop.
