Hey @RRR for planetearth, thanks for posting to our Community.
I moved your post to a thread of its own, since the topic of the thread you replied under was different.
Can you give me some more info on your situation?
Are you using a VPN and you logged in to the Dropbox app with your VPN enabled? Did that cause an issue with the desktop app?
Any additional details would be helpful.
Thanks.

I’m not sharing them with anybody until they organize my files in their categories so I’ve been just really basically learning as much as possible and I just wanted to know if I should have a VPN on or off with when working with Dropbox thank you for taking the time to helping me

That's entirely up to you. It's not required but also doesn't hurt anything. At most, you may get notifications from Dropbox saying that they've detected an unrecognized sign in to your account, especially if your VPN uses multiple locations for exit nodes. To Dropbox, that will appear as though you're signing in from different locations.
