Why can't I see changes my colleague makes to files in my Dropbox account, and how can we fix this?
Files edited by a colleague of mine on her computer does not sync with the files I have on mine. I cannot see the changes she's made.
Both our Dropboxes are up to date. I also do not get a noti...
It's one of these things:

I do not see the changes online.

Do you have the same issue in the other direction? If you create a new or edit an existing file, do your colleague and the other people with access to the file see the changes?The others can see my changes, but not this specific colleague
