Well said!

Google Drive, OneDrive, Windows, Macintosh, Unix, Linux all the operating systems that I know of and all the sync applications out there, all of them handle Turkish characters without ANY problem. And all of them are case in-sensitive.
"...it uses the lowercase version of the..."
If dropbox didn't try to convert to lower case when writing, there would be no issue. Why convert to lower case in the first place? Just copy the file/directory as is.

Its a big problem that dropbox does not sync the files which starts with "İ". I have seen a reply above who says dropbox sync files with lowercase and there is no lowercase letter of "İ". Lowercase letter of "İ" is "i".

Turkish is a widely used language in the world. I hope one day Dropbox supports the Turkish Language.
Windows and many widely used Cloud softwares support the Turkish Characters without any issues.
Thank you

@Erkan G. Rename the folder in the web browser to "delete". Wait for 3-5 sec. Then delete the folder in the web browser. Works for me. Folder name could be anything but i İ ı I

The problem still alive. I think you afraid to solve it because of to lost most users files, normally this shouldn't be hard to solve the capital "i" problem. By the way, year is 2016, but dropbox still not support the "Turkish Language"! Maybe you couldn't realized that size of the Turkish Market. Your competitors support the Turkish Language, why we have to prefer you?
@Demetrios, I am sorry to tell you that but your answer is not acceptable. Please think once more.
Regards.
