Hey Mistic_John, let's jump right into this!

That's a very interesting case there. 

Typically, the num Lock status is indicated by an LED on your keyboard, depending on its design. Could you confirm if opening the Dropbox folder actually activates it, or not? 

Have you tried clicking on the actual button on your keyboard? 

Also, could you hover your mouse over the little Dropbox icon in order to confirm the version that you're using, and share it with me? 

Feel free to send me a screenshot of the pop-up notification you get, in order for me to have a visual too. 

Keep me posted!
