The brown logo isnt a Dropbox one. My guess is you've enabled the Briefcase function in Windows: https://www.techmesto.com/how-to-enable-briefcase-feature-in-windows-10
This is not supported in Dropbox and Dropbox can only sync/use/work with files that are in its own directory. So to use them you need to move the files directly in to Dropbox rather than just linked.

Mark is correct; the box icon overlay isn't part of Dropbox. It's part of OneDrive, and it's interfering with your Dropbox. You'll need to disable OneDrive or find a way to get it to stop syncing your Dropbox as well.
