Hey there bourgom!
Can you provide some more information on this or share a screenshot so we can have a visual of the problem you described as well? Also, can you let me know if you are running the latest stable version of our desktop app ( currently 52.4.60) ? What does it say when you hover your mouse over the little Dropbox icon next to your computer's clock (it should say "Up to date" to be fully synced).
Moreover, can you see the file when you access your account via the website instead of your computer?
Let me know what you find and we'll take it from there. Thanks!
