    Hey Walter,

     

    Thank you for your patience.  It seems it just took a bit of time for my laptop to sync with Dropbox.  Everything is fine now.

     

    Cheers...d

Hi there wrkshpdc - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

Could you please let us know your computer's exact OS version  and the version and status of the Dropbox desktop app shown in your menu bar? Also, what is your Dropbox folder's location as shown in the app's preferences under the Sync tab? 

 

Are the files that show this behavior online only files or available offline to your computer? 

 

Any additional information or screenshots are more than welcome!

Hi Walter,

Thanks for reaching out.  the computer is brand spanking new, and on Sonoma 14.3 OS.

 

See attached screenshot showing how dropbox sits on my finder sidebar...which is perfect.
