Hi Randy B, and welcome aboard the forum. 

 

Have you checked any other folders on your Dropbox desktop app, just to make sure “Camera uploads” is the only one with this issue? 

 

Also, can you please clarify what’s the current syncing status of your desktop app, as well as its app version? 

 

Keep me updated!

    Yes it's only an issues with folders in the "Camera upload" folder.

    The version was downloaded in July of '21.  Unable to find the version.  Whenever I open the program it looks like windows explorer.

      If you look at the bottom part of your computer, where your clock settings are showing, do you see a small Dropbox icon perhaps? 

       

      If you do and you hover over it, you should be able to see the app version and syncing status of the Dropbox app.

        When I mouse over it

        "Dropbox 163.4.5456"

        "Up to Date"
