7 months agoHey there, Joergen, thanks for posting here today!
The behavior you described was quite odd indeed.
I'm glad to hear that your great troubleshooting solved the issue, and that everything got back on track.
Just to make sure I got this right: the app is now fully synced, and when you try to upload new content by adding it to your Dropbox folder everything syncs the way it should. Does this sound correct? 🤨
If you need something else, please let me know and I will be more than happy to help every step of the way.
