Yesterday Dropbox Synced Entire Folders To Content From Months Ago
Inexplicably I woke up to huge swaths of dropbox conflicted copies and content in hundreds of files reverted to states from months ago. Also, it looks like Dropbox is trying to sync everything again....
Some more context. It looks like files were reverted to states as far back as February 2023, with the newer files set to conflicted copies. The only folders affected are anything I touched this week (2023-09-23 - 2023-09-30).

Hey dkobia, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
If I understand correctly, what happened is some folders in your Dropbox folder resynced and the new versions of your files were added in conflicted folders, whereas the files in the original folders reverted back to older versions, is that right?
This is quite strange, but let's see what we can find out.
Did something happen to your hard drive during this time?
Have you looked into this article with reasons why conflicted copies are created, to see if that helps in figuring out why this might have happened?
Let me know.
