Hey @B4DW01F, sorry to hear about this. Have you tried setting those files to online only and back to local again?
Yes I have to no success. Very frustrating. Wish I knew when they would get this worked out. I've even uninstalled and reinstalled Dropbox with the hope something would reset.
Same for me. Definitely a bug.
I have tried deleting thumbnails (made no difference), resetting the always display icon to make sure it isn't checked, moving between local and online only but as soon as I touch the imagine in any way I get this problem.
Annoying as I share Dropbox with less techie people who won't be able to faff around with settings to try unsuccessful workarounds.
If Dropbox aren't fixing this is going elsewhere the best option and if so which is the best alternative? Do I look at OneDrive as we all have that anyway. Frustrating through as I have been a big fan of Dropbox and got loads of folks to use it (bein the team geek within our group of friends and family)
