Thanks for posting this on our forum, Duncan00!

 

Can you clarify what’s the current location of your local Dropbox folder, as it shows under the Sync tab of your app preferences? 

 

Also, if you look at your computer’s menu bar, do you see the small Dropbox icon at the moment? What’s the syncing status it reports? 

 

Finally, I’d like a screenshot of the context menu you get when right clicking on your files/folders to have a visual.

 

Let me know when you’re ready.
