Special Character in Filename causing lack of syncing
I'm moving my files around - syncing via the cloud between a Mac and a PC - and, while I was doing a visual check to ensure the files were correctly synced, I noticed one file that was not syncing. E...
I am experiencing the same issues Dropyak is talking about, and there is no red ! on the dropbox icon as you say. As far as the "view sync issues", where exactly can I reach it? Since the problems we are facing are on a PC, there is no app to begin with. So, where else can we see sync issues?
I have only noticed not all the files were syncing by chance. I then compared the amount of files I have on my Mac, and there is a huge difference to those I have on my new PC. It means that a lot more issues like the ones I casually found out, probably regarding special characters Windows don't recognize as well, are still happening. But dropbox didn't notify me about them, and I still can't know which files are missing. Again, I only know they are missing because the total number of files is different from one computer to the other.
So, where exactly should I go in order to fix it?
I have found i have 384 files that promise to sync but don't and no way of finding out where/what they are. It's a shambles but Dropbox has got noticeably worse in the last year or two. I guess that is near monopoly status
