The Dropbox app on my Mac computer is not syncing

I'm on a desktop Mac.  Got a new iPhone today and had to enable 2FA.  Since I did that, my Dropbox is not syncing on my desktop. It says it's Syncing but it's not spinning and nothing is happening....

Hey PJG343, let me also jump in here! 

Have you tried signing out of the app, and back in again by any chance? You can do this following these steps.

Hi, Megan,

I have tried signing out. Uninstalling Dropbox. Restarting my computer. Reinstalling Dropbox.  Nothing seems to be working on my desktop. I write and my Scrivener files save/back up to there. 😬
