Just noticed today that there's a new button in Dropbox settings saying Clear cache. So hopefully the problem is now resolved :-)

Found that button. Still doesn't work for me.

Dropbox added a Clear Cache button in Settings but it has never worked, and the "solution" is to unintsall and reinstall. Yes, that works, and I've suggested it to many myself, but that doesn't fix the underlying issue that there's a feature in the app that doesn't do what it's supposed to do.

It does.
But after the 20th time you get kind of tired of it.
