Question or Issue

I am getting sync issues for several files (see message) asking for "permissions," which all permissions in system settings are already given, so I am not sure what they are asking for or how to give it to them.

Hi there, @Kevin W.19, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.

Let's see what we can do about this.

Can you locate those files in your Dropbox folder? If so, as a test, try to move one of them out of the Dropbox folder (say, to your desktop) and then back in to see if it helps.

If not, try restarting your computer as well.

Let me know how it goes!
