Feel free to send me some screenshots if you have any, in order for me to get the visual too.
Hi Megan, I never have a problem with my Dropbox desktop app. This is the only way I add new files or edit existing files. Its the Android mobile app that I have problems with. Updates or additions made on my desktop PC update my Drobox folder fine. BUT ... it is never clear if these updates have been done on my Android tablet (despite the "green tick/arrow" showing that it is in sync). The problem is there is no indication as to what is happening on the tablet , there is no prompt to say that "Sync is in progress" or "sync is complete" If I update a file from the PC there is no way of knowing if the file on the tablet has updated......the green tick/arrow does not show this , as it stays green even tho the file is out of date. Hope this info helps. Thanks.
