M1 Mac slow sync, weird sync!?
Hi, I use Dropbox on Android 13, Windows11 23H2 and MacOS Ventura 13.5.1 I edit some excel file on daily basis, it syncs flawlessly and instantly on Windows and Android(S23), however on Macbook M1 ...
Okay I did that and rebooted mac, the pending changes were updated, however new changes are still not being updated, I mean if I open the file from mac the changes are visible, but in desktop app it still does not update and hence on other devices the changes are not being updated as well...
One more thing I noticed now is that Dropbox is no longer being auto started after rebbot...even though the start Dropbox on system startup is checkbox is ticked...checked with 2 reboots...something is not right

Thanks for this info, anonymous.
Does this only happen with Excel files, or other types of files as well?
Hi, I work mostly with excel, pdf and text...so I created a folder named TEST inside Dropbox folder but the same is not synced or showing up in the App.

What do you mean that the TEST folder is not showing up in the app anonymous?
Are you referring to the website, the mobile app or the desktop app on other devices perhaps?
- Yes the Desktop App Walter, what else are we discussing over here, other devices? I feel like going in circles here..Did you also read about app not auto starting afrer reboot even though the checkbox is ticked!? The app plain sucks, either your macos team is responsible or it's stupid Apple...whatever I've given up amd uninstalled...maybe I'll switch to box.com whose desktop app ACTUALLY works..and enough pestering with silly questions for now...
