Hi there jerry11,
Sorry to hear that you're also experiencing this behavior.
Initially, awesome work on the initial troubleshooting! Definitely gives us a better understanding of the potential investigation that we need to carry out.
The next step I'd recommend taking is to reboot your device. It may help to refresh your settings and resolve this for you.
Let me know if this helps!
PS. I also removed some info included in your screenshot as per our Community Guidelines for security and privacy purposes.
I tried converting my professional dropbox to a business dropbox. When I did that, now the dropbox app on my computer no longer works. It throws an error that says
"Your account can't be updated to the new xxx shared workspace. To continue syncing your Dropbox account, close the following files or folders..."
Thing is, those folders aren't "open" on my machine. Furthermore, the mention folders that are shared to me by third parties. I tried to delete them on my dropbox and re-request access but that didn't work either. The details under the error shows that its trying to rename the folder, which may be why this happens because obviously it can't rename a file I don't have permissions to rename.
Any ideas here?

Hi sean10, thanks for reaching out to us here!
I've moved your post here as it seems that you're getting the same error as mentioned here by the OP.
Could you try the steps suggested here to see if that does the trick? If the issue persists, I'd suggest unlinking and relinking the desktop app to try resolve the issue.
Let me know if this helps!
I am struggling with the same issue now. i am not able to access or sync. Need a solution urgently. these files are not open on my system or any system.
Thanks

Hi there sanandan sudhir, thanks for joining us on this discussion.
Could it be that there's a third party app on your computer that's interacting with the Dropbox desktop app?
You can check this by having a look through your Task Manager.
Let me know what you find, and we'll go from there.
- Hi everyone,
I tried out the business version of Dropbox; I went back to the regular version. In upgrading, I lost my personal vault. Is there anything that I can do to bring it back? Thanks.- Jay
Hi 786michaelt, what Business plan were you on, and which plan do you have currently?
