    Nice question you got there Jared ( Jared N.)!

Could it be that you're looking at a different account gharty ?

If you're sure that this is not the case, please let me know and I'll reach out to your Dropbox associated email address to have a further look into this with all of my tools at my disposal.

Thanks!

I am sure that  I am looking at the correct account. Please look into this. The files that I use outside of the Mobile Uploads folder come from many sources and they are fine. 

 

Thank You!
