Some of my files aren't syncing locally to my desktop app.
I have reinstalled my PC today and synched all my dropbox files, but cant see certain files in a folder, but can se dem online, what is wrong here?
These files from online dropbox are not visible on my desktop any more
Hey Anders Sekkelund, thanks for your post.
Can you please check your desktop app’s selective sync settings (by following these steps) and let me know if the folders/files in question are unchecked in the list?
If they are, please select them and they should appear on your desktop app then.
In case this doesn’t help though, I’d like to know your Dropbox app’s current syncing status and app version.
Keep me updated.
