You cannot quite see, but there have been for a while, and unlike on my desktop machine with the exact same OS and DB install versions, NO sync symbols to the right of files or folders (green checkbox or blue spinning circle). The dropdown control panel, pictured, shows "Your files are up to date". My sync settings and screen showing the DB version are below that. Indeed, new files added to the synced folders on other computers do show up now. Yesterday they did not, but after a new clean reinstall at noon today they do. Tis morning I could access no files on the on-line-only-sync'd laptop due to that server/network error message reported above. Now I can.
In short, performance has been spotty to non-existent on both machines. Neither machine has any odd configuration or integration as the DB folders are in the default locations in the Library/CloudStorage folder (with aliases--business and personal DBs--appearing in the user folder). I would note that on the desktop just now my primarily DB Team folder also has no sync symbol, but the other three DB folders do have this.
