Files no longer available through Desktop App
My laptop recently updated to Windows 11 - Version 22H2 and since then DB no longer sync's. I have uninstalled/reinstalled, and nothing seems to work. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Chris if you have another cloud service running, turn it off until DB is completely done updating files. I found this to be the only cure
I'm no expert that this was the fix, but it did work for me. Once DB was completely updated, I turned GoogleDrive back on and have not had the recurring issue. Good luck!
Thanks Megan. I exited OneDrive (I'm not running Google Drive), but it made no difference. My Dropbox folder in Windows Explorer is showing green ticks, apart from one folder, which has disappeared from Dropbox on the web and on other devices (Android phone), but all the files are still there on my PC. Absent other suggestions, my next step would be to try uninstalling and reinstalling Dropbox, but I see others have done that already without success.
This is what Explorer looks like - it's the 'Flights' folder that's disappeared apart from on my PC.

Sorry to jump in, but do you see any signs of this folder in your events page or the deleted files page perhaps ChrisMiller?
Thanks Walter, yes my flights folder was in the 'deleted' page and has now been restored. Everything's now happy again 👍
Very odd though, I'm 99.9% sure I didn't delete it accidentally, as it's a two stage process. And if I did, that's no reason for Dropbox to stop syncing other folders. But then technology is wonderful, as long as it works!
