Hey Steve M.53 - could you try another browser to attach your screenshot in your reply and let us know if you still get the same results?
As for the issue at hand, have you tried fixing your hardlinks and permissions?
If you did and the issue persists, you can try signing out of your account and then back in through the app's preferences.
In any case, please keep us posted, Steve.

Dropbox StaffHi Steve M.53, let's jump right into this!
Can you clarify the OS you're using on your desktop, along with the version of the Dropbox app that you use there, and the precise syncing status?
Keep in mind that I removed your shared link, in order to avoid traffic gathering there. Would you be able to attach your screenshot here, by clicking directly the camera-like icon?
Also, can you click on your avatar in the app's preferences and then on the 'View sync issues' option? Are there any files listed there? That'll help me have a clear idea on what steps we should follow next.
Let me know more!

Thank you for your help. I wasn't able to access the links and permissions using your instructions, however I did log out of my account and log back in, and that has fixed my problems. 😊
Thanks Steve. I had the same issue and logging out and in solved it in no time. Thanks for your expertise :)
