Hi Mark.  Thank you for responding to my question.

When I put the pointer on the file name a pop up offers "Share link  and elipsis."

Thank you.

Can the folder be configured to always share its contents with computer B

Hey Thomas D.12!

 

Keep in mind that computers sync directly with the Dropbox website, not with each other. To find where the problem lies, start by checking each computer you use to access Dropbox. Compare the files in the Dropbox folder on that computer against the Dropbox website.

 

Would you mind using these steps in order to check each device's syncing status at the moment?
