Hi GiftofGaby, welcome to our Community!
It sounds like you're facing something similar to the OP of this thread, am I right? Would you be able to let me know a bit more info on this, please?
What is the OS you're using, along with the Dropbox version there? What is the exact issue you're going through?

Hello Megan! Thanks for checking in so quickly.

Mac OS 13.5.2
I noticed that my space was dwindling. When I would check the storage space in System settings - and then ask for more information it would point to files in my dropbox folder. But when I would go to where they lived - they showed the icon that they were offline.
