You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Empty dropbox in the file explorer whereas files are visible in the web browser
Hi,
I belong to a dropbox folder which is shared between different users, to share files. I have Edit permission. When logging into my dropbox account through a web browser I can see this folde...
As this a shared folder that they renamed? If so, then the renaming doesn't apply to anyone else apart from that user.
You'll need to amend the folder name manually on the site to remove the : symbol.
This has been solved already but in case anyone else has the same problem I had, there is also a setting that controls which things sync to your PC regardless of whether they are set to be available offline or online only. Here is how to change that (how I solved a similar problem): System tray > dropbox > your account initials in the upper right in a little squircle > preferences > sync > selective sync > select folders > make sure everything you want to see in the explorer is checked (this somehow had gotten unchecked for me).
