Yes we got it resolved. We did a more in-depth removal of dropbox even than the one I found above followed by repeating several of the same simpler steps outlined above and finally something triggered it to work. I can't tell you exactly what worked because I have no idea to be honest. Something in the sequence of events maybe.

Having problem syncing with windows 7 and windows 10. Any ideas on how to correct this. Worked perfectly than stopped when windows 10 was uploaded to my windows 7 computer!

Hi gadgets906, thanks for checking in with us.
As a first step, I'd recommend giving a simple reinstall of the desktop app that's not syncing a try. To do this:
- Make sure you save and quit all apps use files in the Dropbox folder.
- Stop Dropbox from running by selecting on Quit Dropbox when you click on the Dropbox icon that's on your system tray.
- Uninstall the desktop app.
- Reboot your computer to ensure that you complete the uninstall.
- Download and install the latest version of the desktop app.
If that doesn't do the trick for you, please send me a screenshot (without any personal info) of what you see when you hover over your Dropbox icon.
Keep me posted!
