I work in a shared folder which is fine online. Synchronising this folder to my laptop doesn't work, despite the selective synchronisation settings. How to solve?

Welcome aboard our Community, @Yvette281!

 

Does the name of the shared folder you’re unable to sync locally contain any of the characters listed here? Please have a look, and let me know what you find. 

 

Keep me updated.
