First thing I'd like to ask the OS on the devices you're using, along with the Dropbox version you use there.
You can find the version by hovering your mouse over the little Dropbox icon, next to your WiFi on your menu/task bar.
Is the issue resolved now and has the app connected to the internet successfully? What happens if you try to restart your machine now? Is the behavior the same?

Hi Megan
If you read the rest of the posts carefully, especially those from rodper321, you will realise that we have uncovered a Dropbox bug that is easy to reproduce. We are all using Windows 10 and the up-to-date version of the Dropbox Windows client. Please could you follow rodper321's steps to reproduce and then report it as a bug to the developers?
Many thanks
Dave
