selective sync options are not retained

Hi 

I am using macbook pro (macOS Catalina (Version 10.15.7)

 

Starting today (at least I noticed it today), my dropbox client stopped remembering the selective folders to be synced. Meaning it will by default show all folders selected when I opened it with the intention of adding a new folder. This is a disaster as now I have to repeat ALL my choices again and again every time I need to add a new folder to this list. Please help!

Hi @Menon, thanks for messaging the Community!

 

Could you try reinstalling the app using this link, without first uninstalling it, and then reboot the device to see if this repairs the app?

 

Keep me updated with any progress!
