Hello, Megan!
Sorry for the late reply.
- Dropbox version is 210.4.4854

I hope this will clarify the issue.

Can you let us know when you started noticing this issue? Was it after an update to your OS or perhaps a Dropbox update?
Also, can you please send us a screenshot of your local Dropbox folder, showing the sync icons on your files?
Hello, Hannah!
Thank You for adding the images!
This issue has been going on for about a year. I haven´t noticed any changes with either OS or Dropbox updates.
The files in the Dropbox folder don´t have any sync icons. I´m guessing it´s because I´m not running the app.
