Hello

i just quote the thread

I remember that a few years ago the smart sync with after effects worked very well. For a couple of years, however, every time I open an old project it takes me hours to resync all the files. Any update on this topic?

Hi Fabiobox, the old implementation of Smart Sync has changed since the thread was created. 

 

Just to clarify, what OS are you running on your device, and what version of the Dropbox desktop application is running when you hover over the icon in the system tray/menu bar?

        Is your Dropbox folder located in the Home folder, or the new CloudStorage location?
