Syncing issue: Files I upload on desktop won't show up on the website

Dropbox does not sync. I upload data onto DropBox on my PC, but it does not upload to the website, so is not available from other devices. Please can someone help?

    Hi Hannah,

    I have closed and relaunched the app numerous times and also rebooted my PC.

    It had not been syncing since at least March this year (not sure of exact date).

     

    I have now done so again, and (holding thumbs) it seems to be working now...

    Many thanks to everyone for their help.

Thanks for the update, BruceFH.

 

Can you try closing and relaunching the app once more, to see if that helps?

 

How long have you been having this issue?
