how about a force sync/refresh button?

Hopefully Dave C, never works for any company, vendor, or client I have to interact with: his comments and attitude were just WAAAY too unreasonable. And Dave C appears to be inexperienced because any developer would know: synchronization issues are common on any service that is dependent upon synchronization ... Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and so on.
What Dave C seems to be unaware is: in every other environment, they have given the user the ability to trigger a manual sync and such. For example, I uploaded some files from my iphone to Dropbox (why? because of the idiotic idea that iOS does not support a commonly accessible filesystem across apps). So three hours later, they still haven't arrived. I would have expected some right-click, manual re-sync feature. I tried starting Dropbox from the Start menu, but that had not effect. Anyway, now 10 minutes later (for some reason) the files are starting to doiwnload.
I agree with one of the the writers above, the long-term solution is some open-source tool to do this. And if it isn't working, at least we have source code to debug the problem.
