After uploading a small file to your laptopâs Dropbox folder, can you immediately see it on the Dropbox website? Iâd like to check which one of the two devices has this syncing issue, or if this occurs on both of them.
Iâd also like to know the Dropbox app version youâve installed on both your computers, as well as the name of the file you canât see on your desktop.
Is there any chance the file is being added to a folder that's been selectively synced on your desktop computer?
Keep me updated.
