Hi there, MvanGageldonk, thanks for posting to our Community.

 

Can you please let us know the sync status and version of the Dropbox app on your macOS computer?

 

You can see this, by hovering over the Dropbox icon in your menu bar.

 

Also, can you please check your selective sync settings, in case you've somehow chosen not to sync the folder in question to your Dropbox folder?

 

Let me know what you find.

Sure (and thanks for the quick reply): solved, it was selective sync. No idea how this folder got unticked, but ticking it again solved it.

 

Best wishes,

 

Maarten
