Selective Sync not showing all folders

[John A.14]

Unsure why, but a folder I generated online and then sent some files to, won't appear on any of the computers selective sync window. Using Mac latest version, 3.8.3. I can't untick that folder. I've tried renaming it, etc but it doesn't help.

This fix worked for me - finally. I had a "-" hyphen in my folder name. I removed it and it finally synced. Thank you!

Been using Dropbox for years from my Mac. Now hooked old Windows7 machine and I can see three of my folders but not the fourth, which is my current project.

No clue why.  If it were a synch issue, I would expect to have a message indicating that synch (with Win machine) was in progress.

And we had a colon ":" in a folder name causing that folder not to appear or sync in Windows. I removed the colon and now its visible and syncs beautifully.

I solved the issue by changing the name of the master directory not being synced on the webpage. hope it also works for you.

This worked for me too, which is bizzarre, because I have a few folders in my DropBox with a hyphen in the folder name. It just was affecting this new folder that I'd added to my DropBox which wasn't showing up. Replacing the '-' with a '_' did the trick. Thanks!

Legend! this was my problem - a little too much punctuation! Thanks for the tip - I'm not sure I would have worked that out on my own. B

I have the same problem. Can't download the folder (too big), can't share it with myself, can't add to my Dropbox. Yet there it is sitting there online.

Hi guys i found that any folders that finished with a full stop ---  . --- would not sync. I suspect that explorer figured that it was a file without a file extension and would not show it.
