Hey moyay, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
This is indeed pretty strange.
I wonder, if you go to your Dropbox preferences on the desktop app, in the "general" tab, what's the language setting there?
Keep me posted.

My language was set to "System Language". I set it to English and I'm still getting the Chinese characters.

Hi moyay, do you notice this behavior only when you use your Dropbox folder/content?
I would like for you to locate your Dropbox icon. It would be on the task bar, next to your WiFi and hover your mouse. That should give you the version of the app that you're using.

Yes, only with the Dropbox app. My version is 189.4.8395.

I have the same thing. For no reason at all.
I am using W7.
Has anyone "Mr. Dropbox" got a reason for this?- martab11 months agoHelpful | Level 6
I've been cheking this every day since I pubished here, but no answers. I just untinstalled Dropbox alltogether, cause it really doesn't look good to me. They've already got a data breach not so long ago, which leads me to believe they don't really take security very seriously, and that is not good for those of us who still run windows 7, since it's got no support from Microsoft anymore. I'm already looking for alternative services in case there is no answer any time soon... I'd advise everyone to do the same.
