    Hey Lukaskotas, 
     
    Welcome to our Forum & thanks for checking in with us here on this inquiry, I'm just checking back with you on the prgress of your inquiry, have you been able to resolve that?  
     
    -Firstly, let’s locate the source of the discrepancy. Can you make sure that you’re running the latest Dropbox version (48.4.58) on your desktop & it’s running correctly in the background (i.e. all Dropbox-related icons are loading correctly for you :white_check_mark:/ :arrows_counterclockwise:)? Also, have you made all latest OS updates locally? 
     
     -Additionally, are you getting any error messages when you’re trying to open your files? I’d appreciate it if you included a screenshot (omitting personal info) of what you’re seeing in your next message here, so that we check the case & send over the most relevant next steps.
     
    I’ll be awaiting your next reply & I’m wishing you a lovely week ahead!

Is it just one folder or them all?

What version of the app are you using?
