I am in Spain now and want to see my files made in Holland 2 weeks ago on my Dutch laptop. Here in Spain i use an other laptop. I can enter in Dropbox here. However  only old files are visible not the recent ones. What i have to do to get  the the recent ones? How can i synchronize?

You should only need to sign in with the same account and wait for everything to sync. If you're not seeing the files on your new laptop, sign in to the Dropbox website and see if those files are in your account. If they're not there, then they didn't finish syncing from your old laptop before it was turned off.

Thanks Rich, in the meantime I asked somebody in NL to open my Dutch laptop trying to sync. Nothing happened to see in Spain. Only the old files. Than I was making a
test file on Spanish laptop and this one was visible in Dutch laptop very quick. So no sync from Dutch laptop. What to do?

Hi @Rene10, what is the current status of the device in Holland? When you create a file there, what happens to the Dropbox app, does it show up as syncing?

 

Any other info or screenshots would be helpful!
