Similar problem.  I have a 5MB VeraCrypt encrypted folder I use to store a few Excel & Word files.  VeraCrypt creates a 5MB file on my dropbox.  I have a Windows 10 laptop and a 5k iMac that use the same account for access.  The file size of the encrypted folder will never change, same for the date.  So not sure if that is why DB isn't doing any syncs for me.  I've tried pausing sync & then letting it run again multiple times.  Never syncs.  Only way it works for me is if I move the file off DB and then put it back.  Kinda defeats the purpose though...  So a "manual sync" would definitely help me out too...
