Hey there, 12volts, I hope you're doing well!

 

Can you check the version of your app, and let me know? 

 

You can do this by locating your small Dropbox icon, next to your WiFi on your task bar, and hovering your mouse there. 

 

Have you also tried logging out of the app, and then back in? 

 

Keep me posted!
