Dropbox unable to sync folders but said folders don't exist when I try to access them.

For as long as I can remember Dropbox has notified my that 3 folders cannot be synced because I need to give dropbox permission to access the file. The 3 folders it is trying to sync are "My music"...

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the reply, this sounds likely to be the issue but when I typed dir /a:h i got this response:

 

Volume in drive C is Windows
Volume Serial Number is E400-AF6C

Directory of C:\Users\david\Documents

File Not Found

 

Let me know if you have any suggestions.

If you type the rmdir commands what does it report back?

    Hi Andrew
