Hey Christa6, thanks for reaching out to us.
By app, are you referring to the mobile app or the desktop app?
If it's the desktop app and consequently the Dropbox folder, can you check the sync status and version of the app, by hovering over your Dropbox icon?
Let me know what you find.

Can you send me a screenshot of what you see on your end exactly, so that I can also have a visual? You can attach it here with the following “camera” icon in your text box:
