This issue likely occurs when you deleted a first-layer sub-folder (Dropbox's team folder) locally. It may be due to permission or API limitations.
- If you have limited top-level permission
This issue occurs because you can only sync changes to folders one level deeper. We recommend asking a Dropbox administrator for assistance.
- If you are granted full top-level permission
Due to Dropbox's new API limitation, team members can't sync locally deleted first-layer sub-folders to Dropbox currently. However, Dropbox's team folder can sync to the local path. Ensure that you remove team folders only on Dropbox.
Refer to the image below for a visual explanation. Removing the folder "Marketing" will not sync to Dropbox, but removing it from Dropbox can sync locally. To avoid this issue, ask for assistance from a Dropbox administrator or remove team folders only on Dropbox.

Due to Dropbox's new API limitation, team members can't sync locally relocated first-layer sub-folders to Dropbox currently. However, Dropbox's team folder can sync to the local path. Ensure that you move team folders only on Dropbox.
Refer to the image below for a visual explanation. When you move the "Finance" folder to "Marketing" on Synology NAS, Cloud Sync tries to sync the following changes to Dropbox:
- Remove the team folder "Finance".
- Create a new "Finance" folder under the team folder "Marketing".
Limited by permission settings or API restrictions, only the second request will take place. Dropbox then detects the missing "Finance" folder and syncs it back to its original location. This results in two identical "Finance" folders on Synology NAS, but in different locations. To avoid this issue, ask for assistance from a Dropbox administrator or move team folders directly on Dropbox.

Refer to the image below for a visual explanation. On Synology NAS, you moved the folder "Finance" one level up, making it a first-layer sub-folder. Cloud Sync then tries to sync these changes to Dropbox:
- The "Finance" sub-folder is removed from the "Marketing" team folder.
- A new "Finance" team folder is created.
Limited by permission settings or API restrictions, only the first change is applied to Dropbox. In other words, the folder "Finance" is deleted from Dropbox. To avoid this issue, you can move the "Finance" folder back to its original location on Synology NAS and go to Dropbox to move the "Finance" folder to your desired place. This change will then sync to your Synology NAS.
This issue likely occurs when you rename a first-layer sub-folder (Dropbox's team folder) on Synology NAS. It may be due to permission or API limitations.

Due to Dropbox's new API limitation, team members can't sync locally renamed first-layer sub-folders to Dropbox currently. However, Dropbox's team folder can sync to the local path. Ensure that you rename team folders only on Dropbox.
Refer to the image below for a visual explanation. You renamed the folder "Finance" on Synology NAS, Dropbox will then detect the team folder "Finance" missing on Synology NAS, and sync the folder back to its original location. As a result, you will have a renamed folder and a folder with its original name. To rename a first-layer sub-folder, ensure that you modify it on Dropbox. This change will then sync to your Synology NAS.
