Dropbox Community ModeratorHey HBR_HBR - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
As a first step, can you take a look at this help center article and let me know if any of the information there helps?
Also, can you see anything listed in your events page in regards to the selective sync conflicts?
Keep me posted on your findings and we'll take it from there.
Hi Walter, thank you for your reply. The approach mentioned in that article is simply not practical, as I have too many folders with "selective sync conflict". Some of them are empty but some are not. Among those that are not empty, some contain complete files, some contain only a portion of the original files, which prevents me from consolidating them. Most importantly, I lost my original folder structure, which made it impossible to reorder those conflict folders as before.
There is nothing specific on the event page.
Since all my files are fine online on the website, I wonder whether I can simply uninstall and reinstall Dropbox on my Mac to resolve the issue?
