    I noticed this happens to me sometimes when one/some of the files are being used/opened by a program, and some modifications to those files are made from another device/web. You may try closing the programs which might be using files in your dropbox folder, and it should complete the sync. You may also try restarting dropbox/computer if that is not a big issue.
