Some folders aren't syncing locally, but they show up on my Dropbox account online.

I have folders shared with me that are available online, are checked in selective syncing, but do not appear on my hard drive. They are subfolders of a shared folder owned by others if that matters. ...

Windows App is version 203.4.4857. It says "Your files are up to date" in the lower left corner. I'm attaching a screenshot of the local file system on the left and the same folder on Dropbox.com. I got there by left clicking the top folder and choosing view on dropbox.com. I can also see the missing folders on my IOS Dropbox app, and I can download items from the website,  they just aren't being added  to my  local Dropbox folder. I have enough local drive space as well. Thanks for looking into it.
