The issue can be resolved by making DPI scaling adjustments directly to the Dropbox application without making the change to your complete system. Please follow the steps below to make these changes on the affected computer:

Right-click on the Dropbox application in this folder.
Select Properties.
Click the Compatibility tab.

Click Apply to save the changes.
Restart your device.
Open Dropbox from the system tray.😎
