Maybe that corrected the problem??
Thanks for your assistance and prompt replies.
Hopefully it stays this way
Thanks,

My Dropbox just seem to correct itself and I was saving a file from my PC into a Dropbox and I did notice that after I was saving a file from my PC this afternoon, dropbox was taking a long time to “index” files.
I just walked away from the computer as it was turning away and taking a long time, but the next time that I try to access it on my iPhone the .docx files were available.
Try doing that, go to your PC and open a Dropbox and save a file in your dropbox account. - Lusil7 years ago
