app doesn't show all of my folders that are visible on the website

[Fermier]

I have the dropbox app on my other computer, and it works great.  When I added the app to my second PC, only a few of the total amount of files were visible.  Is there a way to tell the app to add more of the folders that I already have in my dropbox account?

Hi there @Fermier, thanks for posting on our Community and happy Monday!
 

Could you let us know the app's exact status and version on your second computer as shown in your menu bar/system tray at the moment? Is it 'up to date' or still syncing?

If it's up to date, could it be that you selectively un-synced some folders from your second computer or that their names contain an incompatible character perhaps?

Keep us posted!

I think you're right and that I might have selectively un-synced some folders from my second computer.

How can I re-sync them?

[Walter · Accepted solution]

You can change your selective sync settings through the app's preferences under the Sync tab @Fermier 

Let me know if that helps!

Just one question.  Where is the sync tab?

[Hannah]

Hey @Fermier, you can find the sync tab, by going through the Dropbox preferences, which you can find by following the steps here:
