This is a third-party program you're using along side Dropbox? If so, how does this relate to Dropbox?

 

Assuming it's looking for files in your Dropbox, are those files marked as Available Offline (green check mark on them)? Did you use the backup feature on the new computer, which relocates key folders (Desktop, Documents, etc.) into your Dropbox folder?

 

We'll need more details to understand how or if this relates to Dropbox.

    thankyou for your direction.

    i had to see if it was a dropbox issue or windows issue.

     

    simply tried the same files, copied them onto OneDrive....

    same issue....

     

    therefore, NOT a Dropbox issue,

    but a windows issue,

     

    stopped the synchronization among apps on different computers,

    didn't fix the issue......
