If the app is up to date in your system tray/menu bar, it sounds like those files may have an incompatible character in their names.
Could you have a look at this Help Center article and let me know if that's the case?
Thanks!

Is there a way of searching my dropbox to find any files containing incompatible characters?
I am seeing issues with the number of files downloaded but can't find a way to search for these characters?
Many Thanks.
