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. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling it.

    Thanks for the update, PJG343.

    You've already unlinked and relinked the computer by signing out and back in to the desktop app.

    But since nothing has helped so far, can we send you an email, so we can investigate internally?

    I did respond to that email.  I don't know where to go from there.

    Thank you, Nancy. I've never had to use Dropbox support before & wasn't sure of the process.
