Thank you all for reporting this difficulty you are facing with the third party app. 

Carnage15987 Special thanks for providing your workaround to help others. :innocent:

Unfortunately I don't have much to offer to help with this, as it was always questionable if Dropbox can operate on VR environments and not recommended.

I hope this discussion can continue, though so I will not accept the workaround as a solution for now.  I hope you can find more workarounds to accomplish this sync. 

If you get information from the third party side of things, feel free to add it to this thread. 

Wish I could be more helpful. Thank you all for your participation!
