In that case, could you give it a go and let me know if the syncing gets stuck at the same number of files again KathleenWT?

Dropbox StaffHi there KathleenWT, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!
Could you let us know the desktop app's exact status and version as shown in your taskbar at the moment? Is it 'up to date' or still syncing perhaps?
Apart from that, have you rebooted your computer since you first noticed this?
Keep me posted!
Hello Walter,

When I click on the "hidden icon" on the right side of the taskbar, what comes up shows me, among other things, is that it is "Updating 202 files," and while I think it's trying, there's been no change in more than 12 hours.
Thanks!
Kathleen

Walter,
Thanks for getting back to me. I restarted the computer, and now I get the message that everything is "Up to date." Now, when I check the Dropbox files on my computer, the large folder I renamed in the cloud is now also correctly renamed in the Dropbox folder on my PC.
Thanks for everything! All is well.
Kathleen
