Folder online but not in explorer
Hi,
All of my folders have synced to my PC except one. I am able to see in online and access it but it is not available via the app or on explorer despite being shared with me.
Thanks,

Hi Jamires,
Have you tried this?
- Click on the Dropbox icon in the bottom right corner on the windows toolbar.
- Click on your initials/profile pic
- Click "preferences"
- Click "Sync"
- Click "selective sync"
Make sure all your files are ticked and click update and the should be then synced to your file explore in windows and not just online.
Hope this helps

For a work project, a team member shared a folder with me. When I upload files - in the same manner each time - some files are visible to the owner of the file and some are not. We have already tried refreshing DropBox. Any ideas why? Other teammates are not having issues with uploading their materials. I have tried searching online and in the forum but can't find the answer I am looking for and how to fix the issue! They are a PC user and I am on a Mac in case that adds required context. Thanks!

Do they appear at www.dropbox.com/home for both of you?
Have you used characters in the file name that Windows cannot use such as !>@)^ etc.
