Super User IISo our website has embedded a shared Dropbox link to host the files so I can upload them to a server but it is a common issue that it is not syncing with the website.
Can you provide specifics on how this is set up? Dropbox doesn't sync to websites so I'm not understanding how you have this configured or how it's supposed to work.
Thank you so much guys for your reply. I actually don't know much of how it is working TBH. So my client created an a5w website (Alpha Anywhere) and embedded the link from a shared Dropbox folder that's hosting our files. I use this website to upload documents to his server. I am just wondering why sometimes it syncs real time and sometimes not.

Without details about how it's configured we can't really know why it's not working as expected. There are many ways to accomplish something like this, such as using the API to develop the functionality yourself, a third-party service as a go-between, or simply having a file request link that people click on to upload files.
Perhaps you can ask your client how they've set this up, in detail, and then get back to us.
Rich, you're such a big help. I'll ask him that, thank you so much!
