What shows Nautilus for particular folder and not only? Is there something in process of sync? If the state isn't clear still, you can try unlink and relink back to your account and also try fix possible permission issues there.
ADD: Possible commands to fix some permission issues:
sudo chattr -R -i "$HOME/Dropbox" sudo chown -R "$USER" "$HOME/Dropbox" chmod -R u+rw ~/Dropbox
Note that Dropbox folder path point to default position. If you have changed this path, make appropriate corrections above, before run.

Thank you for your reply.
I did try the following things:
- remove and setup dropbox again
- log out and log in again
- pause/resume syncing
The folder is the default one, nothing seems to change.

Hi JayCnCy,
Did you execute the above commands? Can you paste, in a code block, the terminal result (together commands and results - if any) in next post? Can you provide a Nautilus screenshot covering particular example of such problematic folder (hide personal info - names and so on)?

Hi @Здравко,
I did execute the indicated commands, and they didn't print any results. By a Nautilus screenshot, do you mean of the scrolling menu ?
Thank you again, it is much appreciated.
