Are you able to find the exact location that the ghost file points to? Is it on the same path as your original post? Is the normal file another file in your Dropbox folder, or somewhere else?

[acej]

I can't find the exact location, the many ghost files only appear in Spotlight searches, thus it is very annoying as it clogs up the viewing trying to find the real files. The normal files are in my dropbox folder on my computer.

[Jay]

Are you not able to right click the ghost files in the search to determine where they are located at all?

[acej]

No. Clicking on them doesn't do anything.

[Jay]

If you quit the Dropbox desktop application entirely, and then try searching, do these ghost files appear again?

[acej]

Yes.

Thanks for the screenshot @acej 

May we reach out via email to have a further look internally at this point? 

[acej]

Yes, please contact me via email. I don't want to post it publicly, do you have it on record in my account?

[Walter]

No worries @acej - I've just sent you an email to the email address that's associated with your profile here on our Community, so please have a look at your email's inbox and we'll take it from there. 

Thanks!
