This exact problem is happening to me now that i've upgraded to windows 10. And i check and its across multiple file types (doc, xls, ppt). And they are all local when i check smart sync status.
Any help would be appreciate, this is very frustrating

Hi mm33, let's see what we can do here!
Would you be able to send me a screenshot demonstrating what you see on your end?
I'd appreciate having a clear visual.
Also, what version of the app do you use? You can see this simply by hovering your mouse over the Dropbox icon, near your WiFi.
Keep me posted!

Using 128.4.2870. Below image on left shows the file when looking at smart sync. So i opened the file in question and saved and closed it. but then when right clicking on excel thats pinned to my taskbar i do not see the file. This same thing happens with excel, ppt, etc.
Recent views is turned on as if i do this with files saved to my C drive it works.
