My file request folders don't sync to my Dropbox desktop app from the website.

So I create a new file request, which automatically creates a folder within the File Request folder of Dropbox, But that specific request folder to which designated people can upload to, wont appear on my Windows file explorer. Why? It should sync automatically, but there's no way to make it visible on the PC. Help

 ON THE WEBSITE I CAN SEE "Informe semanal de Cancelados" a folder from a request.  

 

ON THE FILE EXPLORER DROPBOX WONT SYNC THOSE "REQUEST FILE FOLDERS" 

 

 

I want dropbox to automatically sync those dropbox generated  "file request folders" and the files that people upload at them.

    Those images help amazingly, thank you!

    They wont sync as they have 'illegal' characters in them. 

    Remove the fullstop from the end of the name and they should sync (you may also need to remove the comma from the v2 file).
