Can you see the files if you go to www.dropbox.com/home on both devices?

    Hm, definitely not using 2 different accounts since I've only made 1 Dropbox account. 1. And for some reason on both devices it doesn't appear (website) for me it only appears on the folder PC version of it.

      If thats the case is Dropbox running on your PC? Can you see it in the status bar? If so what does it say if you mouse over it?

       

      If not restart the application 🙂 Or consider a reinstall - www.dropbox.com/downloading
