Hi Cesare G, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Could you try the steps in this thread to fix the permissions and hard links to see if this helps?

 

Keep me updated with any progress!

    Thanks for your reply; I already tried both fix permissions and hard links but the issues are still there. Any way to force re-syncing the whole DropBox?

      Are the sync issues referring to the same locations you previously deleted, or are they for files elsewhere on your account?

        Apparently it's the same location, same files, same error reported.

        But if I know click on show the incriminated file nothing happens since the file doesn't exists anymore.

        Any way to reset that list? Very annoying!
