MacBook Pro isn't syncing new content.

Hi,
I have used Dropbox for a long time to jump between my to computers. It has always syncing so I always got access in the finder on the both computers to the files.

Suddenly today it don’t sync to my MacBook Pro and I need to go to the website to download my files. It standing syncing on the Dropbox taskbar all the time but nothing happens.

I have tried update, restart and reinstalling the Dropbox app but nothing works…

What should I do to continue the good benefits with the app?

    Hi Simple, how are you today?

     

    As a first step, can you check the syncing status on each of your MacBook Pro device? Once you do, let me know what it reports.

    Let me know more!
