Hi ahamel, I’m sorry you’re having this issue.
Can you send me a few screenshots of what you see in your local Dropbox folder, when accessing your files, as well as one more screenshot of the syncing status you see when clicking on the Dropbox icon in your menu bar?
Let me know when you’re ready.

Too late Nancy.
Il quit Dropbox app. from top menu. Then I completely uninstalled dropbox.app, and deleted dropbox folders (the one on the side bar and the one in library).
After a restart, I reinstalled dropbox desktop app, , reconnect to my dropbox account and followed instructions to get my files from the cloud.
Everything works fine as previously before updating.
Let's say I will not try another time updating to dropbox file provider.
Regards.
