Thank you for the explanation.
More importantly, the steps to do it.. We will try it and let you know if it works.
If it does then we will resolve this string... as a fix and if not we will reply again.
The good news is on the laptop deleting out of the dock the Dropbox blue app then quitting using the the clock icon and then double clicking the app in the app window in Finder did the magic trick and after one disappearance it has been working well. I can see back at the office they are adding files - even 3 minutes ago so that is synching jut no clock icon and still no icons on any folders on the office computer...

Hey quangtam159, if you uninstall the app, then re-install your files shouldn't be affected.
Essentially you just affect the app, not the files in the Dropbox folder. As for the steps, you can see more about it, here.
Also, you can find more details on how to find your Dropbox folder location here. Another way to check would be for you to open the app's preferences, and check under your Sync tab.
