Welcome back to the forum, @cme2!

 

Did you start having this issue after an update on your device/Dropbox app perhaps? 

 

What’s the current app version that your Dropbox app is running?

 

Let me know, and we’ll take it from there.

Hey @rmundell, could you clarify the version of the Dropbox desktop app installed on your computer at the moment and your computer's OS version?
