Hello everyone!
This Dropbox app scaling issue has been brought to my attention. The issue can be resolved by making DPI scaling adjustments directly to the Dropbox application without making the change to your complete system.
Please follow the steps below to make these changes.- Open Windows File Explorer, then copy and paste this file path in the search bar:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Dropbox\Client - Right-click on the Dropbox application in this folder
- Select Properties and then click the Compatability tab.
- Select Change high DPI settings
- Check the box labeled Override High DPI scaling behavior
- Then, click the drop down menu and be sure that System (Enhanced) is selected.
- Click Apply to save the changes.
- Restart your machine and open Dropbox from the system tray.
Sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused. Please let us know if there are any further issues after making these adjustments.

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for the screenshot!
Have your display settings been changed recently? Did you zoom the screen in perhaps?
If you change it back to the default settings, what do you see?
Hey,
Display settings are on default.

HI JMwambala, it's possible that your font or DPI settings are not at the normal level for your screen resolution.
Could you try checking them in the display properties in Windows to see if this helps with the Dropbox desktop application?
No, I already checked that out. its fine,
