Hi donniebrowne, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Could you clarify what you mean by a 'shared file'? Is this a file that appears on this page on your account, is it a shared link to a file, or are you referring to a shared folder?

 

Also, on laptop 2, do you have the Dropbox desktop application installed on that machine?
