Hi Megan, thanks very much for the reply.
I'm using Windows 10.

The files all have the grey cloud - and my devices are all syncing correctly. So files appear on each device via the cloud.

Hey @Peter Marigold!
You can locate the app's syncing status, and version by hovering your mouse over the little Dropbox icon on your task bar, next to your WiFi. Can you try that?
Aha!
