    Hi there, JeremyD, and thanks for joining our Community!

     

    Is it possible that the folders you're missing from your local Dropbox folder have been unsynced with selective sync?

     

    Check out the steps here, to confirm.

Hi burtonworldart, I'd be happy to help look into this with you. 

 

I'll just need a bit more information to make sure that we're on the same page. For example:

  • Are you running the latest version of the desktop app (104.4.175)? 
  • What do you see when you hover over the Dropbox icon that's next to your computer's clock? 
  • Could it be that the folders you're not seeing are selectively synced? 

Looking forward to hearing back from you!

    Thanks Lusil!  I unlinked and updated to the latest version (104.4.175) and I'mnow able to selectively sync again.  I should have tried that. 

     

    Thank you for you help!

    Hello, I believe I'm having a similar problem where I can see one folder that was shared with me on my iPad but on my mac it doesn't appear. This has never happened before, and not sure how to fix it or selectively sync it. Do you have any suggestions?


    Thank you
