I had the very same problem as Vanni (vrovera) above – same timeframe (all was fine during the day, then, starting from the evening on, all online-only files were inaccessible – and indeed, the OP username makes me think we are on the same timezone/country), same machine, same OS, same Dropbox version. I restarted the WiFi router and everything was fine again. So, thank you Vanni (and Hannah) for suggesting that the problem could be the router!
