Were you invited to join a shared folder where upon acceptance, the folder automatically appeared in your account, or were you sent a shared link to the folder and you had to save it to your own account?
If it was the latter, you were sent a view-only link that only allows you to view or download the files. You don't have edit access to the original folder and it doesn't sync to the original.
In order for files you add to the folder to sync back to the owner's folder, they need to invite you to join the share.
My dropbox is updating ok,
But recently I have shared two folders with my friends (different friends), and both of them are not updating/syncing.
Please suggest a solution.

Hey there, elegantwi, let's jump right into this!
Did you use the app or website to share your folders? Are you able to see the folders in your Dropbox account online?
Also, feel free to let me know the app's exact syncing status.
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there.
