Hi JGGB, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Just for clarification, are the Android apps both signed into the same Dropbox account as the PC?

Any other info or screenshots (while hiding personal names) would be helpful!

Thank you for the prompt response. I have 3 devices linked to my free Dropbox account. I can see most files and folders on the PC version but eg two files I have been updating on the PC have not been synd on the android devices for at least a month.
I uploaded some files this am to the android phone DP app and they immediately appeared on the tablet DP app proving that sync between android devices works.

How do these files get synced to the DP app?
