Re: Unable to access HDD saved files that are in Dropbox. Stuck spinning icon and then gives up.

Hey atan87, thanks for the added info!

Do you get the spinning wheel for both the cloud icon folders, and the green check ones, right? 

Can you try quitting the app and accessing these folders? Do you notice the same behavior then? 

You also mentioned that everything is accessible through the app. Are you referring to the Dropbox folder? Can you open your "My PC" files in their default location?
