Hey TOFU, thanks for clarifying!
Do you have access to your PC, to check if the app is updated, and syncing properly? Also, how did you add the files? Did you copy them in your Dropbox folder when doing so?
Feel free to let me know the app's syncing status, and version by hovering over the little Dropbox icon, on your task bar and we'll take it from there.

Oops! I was wrong. I only got about a quarter of them if that. Ok, I don't see a little Dropbox icon on my taskbar, sorry. I'm letting you down.

Hi @Marshal mellow, don't worry about it, we'll get to this together.
You mentioned that you only have about a quarter of them. Are you checking the mobile app, or the desktop app? If you have any screenshots of what you see on your end, that'd be amazing to attach here.
As for the little icon on your task bar, can you do a quick re-install of the desktop app, and let me know how it goes?

Hi Marshal mellow, if I could fly over there and fix it, I'd be happy to, with or without sushi.
However, I can only guide you from here. You mentioned, that you only see some of the files, not all of them: can you clarify where it is that you're looking?
Are you looking on the web, mobile app or desktop app?
As for the re-install of the app, all you'd need to do is click here: https://www.dropbox.com/downloading, download and install our desktop app. Once that's done, let me know the app's syncing status.

Thank you for your help this far. I live in Japan so I assume we have a big time difference. I go to this little restaurant, pay about $4 for the all you can drink lousy coffee and use their wifi for 3 hours. I'm cut off so I'll see what I can do with what you have given me so far and pray that you're there tomorrow. Thank you thank you
