Folder online but not in explorer
Hi,
All of my folders have synced to my PC except one. I am able to see in online and access it but it is not available via the app or on explorer despite being shared with me.
Thanks,
...
Hi Jamires,
Have you tried this?
- Click on the Dropbox icon in the bottom right corner on the windows toolbar.
- Click on your initials/profile pic
- Click "preferences"
- Click "Sync"
- Click "selective sync"
Make sure all your files are ticked and click update and the should be then synced to your file explore in windows and not just online.
Hope this helps
When I got a new computer, the Dropbox install said something about me having a ton of files and that I should just select which ones to show for now. I selected very few. Now, I need some files. I see them in Dropbox online, but I don't know how to get them to appear in my computer's Dropbox folder. (I know that the items in my computer's Dropbox folder I can choose to SmartSync as Local or Online Only - but how do I sync the ones that aren't showing up?)

You're probably looking for Selective Sync.
