Hey Wanft, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Can you please let us know the exact version and sync status of the Dropbox app on your computer?

 

You can see that, by hovering over the Dropbox icon in your menu bar.

 

Have you already gone through the update process for the application, to the new Dropbox for macOS version?

 

Keep me posted.
