    Hey Ajwanix, hope you’re doing well. 

     

    I’d like you to send me a few more details on what’s happening exactly. 

     

    Are you seeing your files on your web account, and not locally on the Dropbox app? Or is it vice versa?

     

    When checking the syncing status of your Dropbox app, does it say up to date, or is it still syncing files?

     

    PIng me, when you’ve got more info.

    Gotcha Ajwanix!

     

    What about the app's current syncing status and version? If you could check, and let me know more, that'd be amazing. 

     

    We need to make sure the app is up to date, and then go from there.
