Dropbox StaffHi adebyrne, welcome to the Community.
Just to clarify, are you taking any specific actions on your device, right before this notification appears, or does it show up on its own?
Have you restarted your computer, and the same thing keeps happening?
What’s the OS version of your computer, as well as your Dropbox app version?
Keep me updated.
Nope, started yesterday. I was doing some file copying as part of my google set up thats all. I have rebooted machine.
It's a win10 laptop
There's a bunch of dropbox processes running. I guess I could kill them but theyd restart
It's still doing it now, every 20 seconds

Thanks for the screenshot! Can you try killing these processes, and let me know if there’s a difference?
Also, as per the notification above, did you try to make a copy of files that were online-only on Dropbox, without making them available offline first? If yes, then this is quite possibly what triggered this message.
Hi I am also having this problem. It seems to occur when I have One Drive (that I need for my work) open as well. Any suggestions?
