Hey BennyCe, welcome to the Dropbox Community!

 

One thing I can think of in this case is that perhaps the folders in question are unsynced through selective sync.

 

Can you check the steps here, to see if the folders are selected, or unselected?

 

Do they even appear in the selective sync settings?

 

Let me know and we'll go from there.

    Hey BennyCe, thanks for the update.

     

    If you take a look at this page, are you able to see all the backed up files correctly?

     

    What's the status of the backup there?
