Would you mind clarifying how long this has been happening for? Also, what is your OS, along with the version of the Dropbox app that you're using on your device?
You can find this by hovering your mouse over the little Dropbox icon on your task bar, next to your WiFi.
Keep me posted!

Hope it’s alright to jump in, DB01. Out of curiosity, do you have any other computers linked to the same Dropbox account?

Finally, since we've had a new stable version released recently, can you try to update your Dropbox app to it and let me know if the issue still persists?
