I update files on both my computers, but they're not syncing with each other.
Hi all, I have devices linked to my own dropbox account -- one is my work desktop and the other is my laptop. I had no problem reading all the files on both computers until this year. Now, suddenly, ...
But the new ones I make on the laptop dont show on the dropbox website. So it seems the problem is with my laptop. Any ideas what it could be?
First thing to check is that both copies of Dropbox are signed in with the same account. Go into Preferences in each one and make sure the email addresses match.
If they match, check the sync status on the laptop. Hover your cursor over the Dropbox icon in your system tray (Windows) or menu bar (Mac) and see if it says Up to Date or if it indicates a problem.
Oh, good question. I just checked and they arent showing up there either. I wonder what I am doing wrong? Edited to add they are showing up from my work desktop. But the new ones I make on the laptop dont show on the dropbox website. So it seems the problem is with my laptop. Any ideas what it could be?
