Desktop app changes not syncing with online

Hey - my desktop version of dropbox is not syncing with the online version & files - is there something we're missing? Maybe an update?

This might help the syncing process to continue at a faster speed. If need be, you can try making a small change in that folder to see if this helps the folder to sync across.

Hey NCMonsterTree, thanks for posting to the Dropbox Community!

I would suggest first checking the sync status of the app, to make sure it's done syncing.

To do so, hover over the Dropbox icon in your system tray/menu bar with your mouse.

What do you see?

Well, that appears to be the problem. Deleted an old backup file from my computer hard drive and appears to now be working. Thank you.
