Hi there KathleenWT, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!
Could you let us know the desktop app's exact status and version as shown in your taskbar at the moment? Is it 'up to date' or still syncing perhaps?
Apart from that, have you rebooted your computer since you first noticed this?
Keep me posted!

Hello Walter,
Thanks for your response. I've been looking and haven't been able to see where to find the version. Where do I find that?

Thanks!

I forgot to tell you: I did not reboot the computer. Should I have? I thought it might interrupt some ongoing process and make things worse.
