Selective Sync not showing all folders

I am having the same problem,

my selective sync started not showing all folders recently
tried to restart Dropbox, didn't help
tried to unlink Dropbox, and link again, didn't helo
tried to uninstalled Dropbox and install again
fine, now it's downloading ALL my files on Dropbox to my local drive....

it seems this problem has been a while,

Is there any dropbox engineer trying to fix it?

Yup, this worked!

I reported this issue to Dropbox support, and they taught me exactly what you said.

Thanks!

Hey odessavid, 

Thank you for the heads-up on that, much appreciated. 

Usually, upgrading to the latest stable version or downgrading to the stable version if you are on a testing beta build will resolve any Selective Sync issues you may have experienced. 

If you need to ask more about it, please let me kow in your reply!

Kind Regards, 

JaneA

4. From the "Profile" tab, scroll down to the section titled "Preferences" and uncheck the box next to "Include me in early releases" if it is checked.

Hi, I'm having the same problem not syncing a folder.  I checked the settings, and I am not a beta tester.  Not sure where to go from here...  please help!!!

Sorry, sure.  I have a folder labeled "_Programs" in my C: drive on my computer.  It does not show up at all under the folders to sync under "Selective Sync" in Dropbox.  Does this help?  Thx!

Sure- just getting used to this thread.  Would I need to start it over, or is there an option to change this to a new thread.  Sorry for the dumb question- thanks!

This fix worked for me - finally. I had a "-" hyphen in my folder name. I removed it and it finally synced. Thank you!
