Hey Mdearing3540 - sorry to hear about this. 

Could you please let me know the exact version and status of the Dropbox desktop app as shown in your system tray at the moment and if you noticed this after an OS update perhaps? 

Apart from that, can you also take a look at the Dropbox desktop app's preferences and check that you're logged into the correct account in the account tab?

Let me know what you find and we'll take it from there.
