    Hey NickPT, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.

     

    While there's no such option for Android, there is in fact a refresh option on Windows.

     

    If you open a folder and right click anywhere in the folder (but not n a specific file), you should see a "refresh" option.

     

    However, keep in mind that the changes you're making will need to sync first, in order for them to be available in your account online and other connected devices.

     

    When the files you add do not appear on your wife's device, is it possible that they haven't synced on your end yet?

     

    Keep me posted.
