Thanks for getting back to me with the log @Josephus F.!
Can you try doing an advanced reinstall of the desktop app to see if that does the trick?
The files within your Dropbox folder won't be affected, so they don't need to be synced again, the app will just need to reindex the files.
Let me know how it goes!
