Thanks for joining us here @Intact!
Can you try the steps below and let me know if that does the trick?
- Click the Dropbox icon in your system tray/menu bar.
- Click the profile pic/initials icon in the top right of the window.
- Choose "Preferences..."
- Go to the "Account" tab.
- Hold the Alt+H (Windows) keys or the Space bar (Mac).
- Click the option "Reset file system warnings".
Keep me posted!
