Hello and thx for your answers.
Looking at your URL, this synchronization options should be different right ?

For information, might be important, here is my configuration :

It's a Microsoft Surface Pro 11th edition.
As you asked, I disconnect and reconnect Dropbox App, but strictly no differences occur.

This error leads me to Comment résoudre les erreurs de synchronisation de Dropbox et d’autres problèmes - Aide de Dropbox.
I have no real errors syncing the selected files&folders, but that's not the way I need to work.

MY GOAL: to find a complete view of the whole dropbox in the windows explorer, even if everything is only available online, and open the files I need to make them available locally.

Thx for your support.

Hi again! One more thing I’d like to ask is whether you installed the Dropbox app with admin rights during the last reinstall (this will help isolate the issue a bit more and check what else may be happening here).
