Nope, I don't have any shared folders at all. And it had synced to Dropbox before. I had actually synced it a couple of hours before I picked up working on it on my laptop and visually watched it finish syncing again on the laptop when I was done. I got up this morning to pick up work again on the desktop, opened finder to navigate to the file, and it just wasn't there. The folder's still there, but it's empty. But if you right-click and "Get Info," it says there's two files in the folder, but there's not. I even checked for hidden files in the folder and it's not there either. It's like it's invisible or something.
I've resigned myself that I'm probably going to have to start over (sigh, I was sixty pages in, too), but I'm just baffled at this point and am wanting to solve this in case it comes up again in the future lol.
