Hi Suzie, can you please post some more details like a screenshot or short video? Also, is this for the Dropbox desktop application or something else?

I searched for the error message but couldn't find much about it. I would suggest restarting your computer to see if that fixes it. Aside from that, you could try pausing and unpausing Dropbox's sync feature to see if that resets it.
