Adding folders to Dropbox client.

Adding folders to Dropbox client.

Hello all,

 

On a new laptop with little free space available, I installed Dropbox client a few weeks ago with only just one subfolder.

 

Today, I want to add another folder, but cannot find how to do that!

 

Many thanks for your help in anticipation.

Hey @jcbrotel, thanks for posting here today! 

 

When you say that you want to add another folder, do you mean that you want to sync a folder from the web, locally to the device or do you want to use the app, to upload a folder online? 

 

Provided it's the first case, then it'd be safe to assume that you're using selective sync, since you can't see your folder locally, right?

 

Have you checked your selective sync settings, in order to change your settings there?

 

Keep me posted!

Thanks for your help Megan, I had done it before, the trick was to click my avatar icon in order to access "preferences"!

That's solved.

Cheers
