Could you test this in a shared folder with a different member added to it, instead of the previous shared folder member?
Hi Jay ,
I just tried sharing a new created folder to the 3rd dropbox account (logged in on a Windows system) and yes the issue can still be 100% reproduced.

Hi Jay ,
What's the reasoning here? I've confirmed that the issue cannot be repro'ed if I quit Dropbox app. And it's only happening in Dropbox's shared folders. I don't think there's some weird processes monitoring my shared Dropbox folders. Technically speaking can a 3rd-party process figure out which folder is shared between Dropbox accounts? Does the Dropbox app expose such info to 3rd party?

Yes our company's computers have anti-virus and other monitoring apps running. I have to live with it if it's these apps causing the issue.
