Using my business computer and business Dropbox account I created a new Dropbox account for our church's laptop for worship songs and videos, so the business account is the owner. Everything worked well for years but now when I add files to the Dropbox folder from my personal computer, they appear on the laptop but they do not appear in my business computer or business Dropbox account. The folders are present but only two of four files in one folder are present.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Dropbox - Version 131.4.3968 and the problem persists. This computer is a Mac running Mojave (10.14.6). New files are missing in both dropbox.com and in the Dropbox app and the app says everything is up to date (green checkmark). I have verified that I am using the same login in dropbox.com and the local app.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Thinking about your reply, I remember the Dropbox folder was renamed on the church computer last year (Pine Grove to Pine Grove Dropbox) and maybe that change never synced to the MVPM computer. That could explain why the folder doesn't sync.

There are no incompatible characters in the folder and file names and the other computers are syncing fine.
sorry, replied from wrong computer. Should have replied as MVPM.

They are showing the exact same dropbox folder (Dropbox > Pine Grove > Worship PPT) - the locations appear to be different because the screen captures are from different computers. I have been working with these folders between several computers for 5 years but the problem only became apparent recently when I had to view a file from my other computer.

I shared the renamed folder with my business computer and deleted the old one and all files are present on the business computer now.
Thanks for your assistance!
