I’m really glad to hear everything is working again and thanks so much for coming back to update us! It’s always helpful when folks share that their issue is resolved, especially with syncing problems like this that can be tricky. 😊
By the way, I’m Theresa 👩💻, one of the Community Managers here at Dropbox HQ. Since you’ve been depending on Dropbox to sync your photos, I’d love to know… what’s your favourite Dropbox feature? Whether it’s about syncing, sharing, or something else entirely, I’m always curious what people enjoy most.
