Thanks for that! From what I can see in your second screenshot, there are no sync icons in general next to your files/folders in File Explorer. 

Can you clarify the current syncing status and app version of your Dropbox app?

Also, if the folder in question is still showing on your Dropbox account online, please send me one more screenshot of it and I’ll investigate this further.
