Hey jk36​, let's jump right into this! 

As a first step can you clarify which steps you follow in order to check your app's syncing status? 

Do you locate your little Dropbox icon on your menu bar, next to your WiFi and hover your mouse over it, or do you click on the little icon itself and check the activity center?

Can you also send me a screenshot of how it looks like on your end when the app is syncing content? 

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
