Dropbox Mac and Windows not Syncing between each other.
I have Dropbox installed on 3 Mac computers and 3 Windows PCs. The files I add on my PC show up on the other PCs but the files won't show up on the Macs or vice versa. It's stuck on syncing X number ...
Hey fheide, I see!
If you've made sure that your files don't contain any incompatible characters, could you please try fixing your hardlinks and permissions as outlined here and let me know if this persists?
Some of my files I'm able to see and other files I'm unable to see online. I created a test folder. If I copy a file within Dropbox to the test folder, it updates correctly. If I move a file within dropbox to this folder, it updates and syncs correctly. New files are hit and miss somehow. Sometimes when I relaunch the app, the files will update, but there are 5 files that I tried to upload earlier that keep showing "waiting to sync." I've restarted several times and the error persists.

Fixing hardlinks and permissions seemed to have solved it. I did that on two devices, left it overnight because it needed to sync up the files, and this morning it's working correctly.
Thank you for showing the hardlink/permissions. I didn't know there was a hidden menu in Dropbox.
