I have the same problem now. Dropbox and Google Drive are synching other folders. I am on a 64-bit pc with a windows 10 pro. My dropbox is v193.4.5594. I restarted it a couple of times already : ) and it did not work.
I did have a problem with Google Drive earlier, which was not launching, so I uninstalled it back then. Now that I need to use it in a workgroup, I had to give it a try, so I installed it again, I didn't need to do any troubleshooting to run the Google Drive though, which was a little strange...
Now that I realize, dropbox is not connecting. This may be because of the recent operating system updates, or some update with either of the cloud services that came up when I was not using Google Drive.
