Why are some files in the admin account on my Windows computer as well as the non-admin account?

HI HappySheep, thanks for the information. In order to look into this matter in more detail, I'd recommend contacting the support team directly for them to investigate further.

Here are the links:
 

[Removed as per Community Guidelines]

Hopefully they can tell you more than my explanation. 

The 2 files are less than 250Kb altogether so I'm not sure it is a size limit. 
It's not letting me post the links, it gives the error:

Content Not Published
Your post contains invalid HTML. Remove the following invalid tags before publishing: a, a (class)

I don't understand how there is not an effective support mechanism. It's been more than a week, links and small files cannot be uploaded and I've had no meaningful response to my issue. This is very frustrating.

Thanks for giving it a go! It sounds like the file you’re trying to upload may be a bit too large for the forum. 

You can place it in a shared link then, and post it here instead. We may remove it after that to prevent excess traffic on your Dropbox account, but we’ll be able to see what you’ve posted first.

I've tried, it says 

Media Upload Failed

Try uploading from a different source.

or

File Not Allowed

The file dropbox-admin.JPG is not allowed.

Hey HappySheep! Can you try pasting your screenshot directly in your message box here on the forum?

Let me know if that works for you.

Seems that dropbox links are not allowed so please let me know how to post images.

Thanks for the update and the additional info, HappySheep!

I'm afraid a screen sharing session isn't a possibility through the Community, but would it be possible to send us some screenshots of the issue?

Perhaps a couple of screenshots of both Dropbox folders, to see how they appear for you?

Feel free to edit out any personal info from the screenshots, of course.

Thanks for the response Hannah.

Yes, I meant Admin and non-Admin as in relation to Windows accounts. I'm not 100% on the dropbox installation, but I'm pretty sure I installed it for all users. We use the camera uploads feature from 2 phones.

From the Anthony account, if I go Dropbox, the top 3 folders are .dropbox.cache ; Anthony ; Apps. From the Admin account, I have the same view, so I deleted a .png file and it was deleted also from the Anthony account in the same location. When deleting it from Admin, a warning came up, "This file will be deleted from your Dropbox account. 
Because it is online only, it won't be moved to your Recycle Bin, but recently deleted files can be restored on dropbox.com."

When I look from the Anthony account at .png files in the same location, and right-click, I have the option to make it ;online only'. If I delete a file from the Anthony account I do not get the 'online only' warning.

Also from the Admin account, when I opened another file, I got the pop-up warning: "Avoid file conflicts. The dropbox badge appears during Microsoft file conflicts. When visible, you can view version history, share links & collaborate efficiently."

Hopefully this helps you work out what's going on. I'm happy to have an interactive screen share if that would make it quicker and easier.

Hey HappySheep​, thanks for reaching out to our Community.

By admin and non-admin accounts, I'm assuming you're referring to user profiles on the computer and not Dropbox (team) admin and non-admin accounts, correct?

Is the Dropbox app installed on both partitions? And do you have two different Dropbox folders?

If, as a test, you delete a file from one Dropbox folder, does it get deleted from the other one as well?

Let me know and we'll go from there.
