You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Files accessible form everywhere except my computer.
Hello,
Recently I created folders with documents inside on the browser version of Dropbox. When I got back home these files were not synced on my computer, but they are accessible from the app on my phone and my tablet.
i desinstalled Dropbox from the computer and reinstalled it but it didn't change anything.
I will also add that I only use 20% of my 2.2 Go and that the files I added are just some PDF and Word.
Thank you !

What are the names of the files? If they have any characters in their names that would be considered incompatible with your operating system, they won't sync. In such a case, rename the files to remove any unsupported characters and the files will sync.

Thank you so much, that was indeed the case, but I didn't think about it as the browser version didn't complain about the characters. i will see if it indeed worked when I use my computer !
