You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

File on computer have a strange icon next to them, and can't be accessed
Any files not used for a couple of days are no longer accessible and have a strange graphic next to the icon.
I'd be grateful for a solution to this problem.
I can't upload the screenshots here! Don't know why.

We would need to see the strange graphic before anyone would know what it's referring to. You should be able to use this icon to attach a screenshot.
If it's not working, just upload the file to your Dropbox, create a view-only shared link to it and reply with the link.
Hi, I don't have a screen that looks anything like yours. There's no methid of taking a picture. My problem only occurs on my PC, not the website or phone. I can't add a screenshot here. Can I send yiu an email with a screenshot. The way I fixed the problem in the past was to delete alll traces of dropbox from my PC and do a complete new installation. That worked for a couple of months.
I have removed Dropbox from my PC again, and it has fixed the problem. This is not a long-term solution
