I am having the exact same problem on Windows 10. I have performed the Advanced Reinstall multiple times.
This happens when using my regular Microsoft account on my laptop.

I tried renaming the Dropbox folder hoping that would trigger a re-signin and synch but nope.
Now that someone else is experiencing the same problem, it is apparently a problem with release 140.4.1951.
