Hi Nancy,

Thanks for your reply.

 

The location of dropbox folder is Users/***/Dropbox

Sync Status is "Your files are up to date"

In the sync tab of my app preferences there only have two items: "Selective Sync", and "Dropbox folder location" I am mentioning this because on my other computer there are more options...

 

Screenshot attached of the right click options.

 

Many thanks!

Hey Duncan00, thanks for letting me know! 

 

Would you be able to hover your mouse over the little Dropbox icon on your menu bar, next to your WiFi and let me know the version of the Dropbox app that you're using?
