Hey Benjamin Gordon, thanks for reaching out to our Community again.

Can you let us know which version of the Dropbox app you currently have installed on your computer?

You can see that by hovering over the Dropbox icon in your menu bar.

Also, were you previously using the beta version (vXXX.3.XXXX) of the app or the stable one (vXXX.4.XXXX)?

Let me know and we'll go from there.
