    I don't remember what all I tried after I first posted, but unselect - select might have been one of them. I know I had tried that prior to my post. Whatever it was I tried, it seemed to work. This morning when I booted up, it worked.

     

    I'm on my main computer at present so I can't give exact answer to app version, but since it's a new computer and new installation, it would be current. When I used the travel computer this morning, it said "Your files are up to date".

     

    As for S mode, your link says that "does not actively store files and folders on your device" and since DB does store my selected folders of files onto the computer, I would say the answer is no, not S mode.

     

    In any case, it seems to be working ok now. I'll try to come back in a week and advise if it continues to work.
