Hey Noah5665, thanks for your post.

At this time, lots of sites/services are hard to access from within China and Dropbox is one of those services.

Some users have been using Dropbox in China successfully with a VPN, however, this is still not as stable and also it's not something we can support in case of an issue.

So, in your case, that's the issue, because otherwise you can sync files across countries with no problem.

I hope this clarifies things and if you need anything else, let me know.
