Files aren't fully syncing between Windows and Kbuntu
I am using Dropbox to share working files between a couple of computers, on Windows 11 and the other on Kbuntu Linux. Everything worked fine for a while but now, the files I save from the Linux box ...
It does sound like the Linux machine was signed into the wrong Dropbox account.
Logging into a Dropbox account on the browser on Windows won't affect your desktop connection, since they are completely separate.

Super User IIDoes Dropbox report any errors if you mouse over its icon on your status bar?
The only Dropbox icon on the Windows task bar is in the hidden icons section. When I roll over it, it reports, "all files up to date" or something and now switched over to reporting on the number of files it is indexing.
It seems to get stranger and stranger. Earlier I could not find a file I saved from the downstairs Linux box when I wanted to open it in the upstairs Windows box. I brought that up on a USB key. Now as a test I saved an Open Office doc from Linux and I could see it right away upstairs. I saved a .txt file from upstairs and can't see it in Linux. So, it seems like the problem has reversed. I'm looking at the Linux box in a remote window on Windows and it seems like Linux sees most files, but a couple don't show up in the Dolphin graphical file browser. They also don't show up when I change to that directory in a console window and list the contents.
I have the link
I don't know what I was going to say following I have the link, seems like phrase typo.
Also, I just noticed that the KDE desktop has Dropbox icon. When I mouse over it, it just reports that some files are downloading. No errors.
