"Go to file" link in sync issue dialog doesn't work
(Win10) I've been having this issue for a month. It pops up every day.
I don't see any problem with the filename, it doesn't contain any special characters, and I don't know which file it's talking about.
When I click "Go to file" nothing happens.
When I try to search the filename on dropbox.com, I got multiple results, but none of them were changed in the recent months.
Any ideas?
Hi Quuzuu,
Your "favicon.png" files count isn't so big. So should not be a big task to compare local and online equivalents. While keep open the local search results, try the same with search bar in web interface of your account. Is there some more additional file(s) or time stamp of matching results differs? 🤔
Hope this gives direction.

Hi Hannah, I believe I've made it clear in several sentences in the original post that I was trying to locate the file but was unable to.

1. As I mentioned, nothing happens when I click "Go to file", and I do not know which file it's talking about.
2. Below is all the files with this name in my local dropbox folder, ordered by date modified. You can see there were no recently changed ones. And you can also see the semi recent ones are all located inside node_modules, which I have all ignored from syncing.
3. I tried to move out and move back these files as suggested, but it doesn't make the error go away. You probably know, the error message appears as a red exclamation mark in the system tray, and it's not designed to disappear until you view it, so it's not a good indicator of whether the issues was fixed or not. After you view it, however, it'll always go away, even without fix, until it comes back the next day.
4. As the error stated, it's "couldn't download", not "couldn't upload", so it's probably not going to be fixed by local operations anyway.
