Hi Michael L.43, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

What is the OS you're using? I’d also like to know the app version you’ve installed on the device.

Can you send me a screenshot of your Dropbox app’s current syncing status? Have you ensured that this is not caused by a 3rd party app on your computer like other cloud or syncing, or backup services or even security programs like antivirus or firewalls?

Let me know what you find!
