Thank you all for reporting this, it is related to a known issue a number of users experienced last week. The team have now resolved this and it should be working again.

Hey there!
I'm experiencing the very same thing: Dropbox won't sync unless I restart the app. It syncs just fine on my phone and on the website, but it just won't sync on my PC (Windows 10) anymore. It's like the servers forget to inform the app about the new files. :-/
I'm still trying to find a solution, but if you find a solution yourself, please post it on here, because that would be very helpful. :)
