Problem finally solved.
Three weeks later and after several attempts, the resolution of the sync problem happened after the latest update (v178.4.4811).
As initially said, this problem wasn't related with the number of files (below 300k) as we have more than 1 million files since day one and Dropbox has always worked fine.
These problems usually happen after recent updates and many times it doesn't happen to everyone with the latest version.
The solution is to install a previous version or wait for the next version (which was our case).
Another thing we learned from this situation is that Dropbox Business support has a lot to improve...
We had to test and find solutions ourselves over the last three weeks with several hours wasted, which significantly affected our daily work and production.Note: Btw, selective sync isn't a solution for those (like us) who need to access all files directly through the workstations.
If anyone thinks that is reasonable and productive to work directly through Dropbox website because your business is "unlucky" to have more than 300k files on the account, good luck with that suggestion and workflow! It certainly came from someone who has never worked that way.Thank you Dropbox for your (not) "great" support!

Hi Vincentdack
No, you must use an email although you can set Dropbox up to use 2 factor authentication using a mobile device but that works after you enter email and password.
