Dropbox is Changing the file name to UPPERCASE letters
Sometimes filenames in my Dropbox folder(s) are changed to UPPERCASE letters. Seemingly random, but probably isn't :)
I can see from the version history that the file has been renamed (changing from lower to upper case or vice versa), but I have not done that. I don't think it is the client software either, as I experience this with different file types.

Here is the full log for the file. The only rename I did is the first one where it was renamed from "test.xlsm". The file has been used on two different computers where one is a Mac.
The solution I found was to select Properties of my dropbox folder and then to unselect the files as "Read Only" and saved that.
Then in the preferences I unselected the lowercase files and once they had cleared my pc, I added the files back to my dropbox folder - they were now in caitals as on the web.
I have files with uppercase (capital) letters in the filenames. Recently, I've noticed that Dropbox is on its own converting them to lower case. Even if I manually change the name to something else and then set it back to with upper case letters, it will eventually get converted. I decided on an experiment to confirm Dropbox was doing this. I moved the parent folder out of Dropbox with all its upper case letters in the filenames intact. They didn't change*. Then after it finishing syncing their deletion, I moved the parent folder back. As expected, Dropbox converted the upper case letters. This is on a Mac Pro with Mojave.
*This is on an external ZFS RAID, but ZFS completely honors the lower/upper case distinction even though it's configured case insensitive. Dropbox is at fault here.
