One of my Mac devices doesn't sync content from my Dropbox folder online.
This subject line has come up before, but my problem is not caused by filenaming errors.
I have dropbox on four computers; everything syncs fine except on one laptop: the laptop will update files ...

Update: reinstalled Dropbox, then when I clicked on 'fix hard links' there was a progress icon so something happened that didn't happen when I tried it before. All of the red-x icons have now disappeared. A minor 'test' update on the laptop made last night (filename change) has still not shown up on the other computers, and updates I have made on the main computer this morning (new files) have not appeared on the laptop. I will give it a bit more time, but the amount of data it is trying to sync is very small according to the progress statement (389 files, 64 MB), and that should sync in a matter of seconds over LAN sync. Heading out to work now so it might or might not work on a remote connection... I will update this thread a bit later when it has had some more time.
