Re: I upload Excel files to my desktop app, but they only sync after restarting my Windows device.

Hi

The email talked about the on-line off-line options, but i did not make any changes

I work on the excel files on my WIN11 laptop after I finish manually updating that info in 6 files.  I copy them to the Dropbox folder for Excel Files.   Before the email ( could be a coincidence) the files in the Dropbox folder would sync or update in 5-10 seconds, it they took longer it was an Internet thing.  But they have always updated until a few days ago, and after that email.
