One of my Dropbox folders appears on the website, but not locally.
v204.4.5420 on 6.10.2-arch1-1
On the website I can see a folder Dropbox/pepper, but on the local disk of one of my desktops that directory is not there. The directory is there on another desk...

I hadn't noticed the date window for the 'deleted files' was so narrow. I broadened the date search and saw that I had deleted some directories without knowing I was doing that.
Restoring those directories has done the job.
Thank you all.

Hey Stephen B.25, let's see what we can find together about this!
Is there a chance that you have removed the folder using selective sync? Would you mind checking the settings on the device, and letting me know more?
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

Hi Megan. Thanks for the response. Thats what i meant when i said all directories were selected in the synch. Excuse my terminology there.

Gotcha, thanks for letting me know Stephen B.25!
Would you mind sending a few screenshots of what you see on the website in regards to the folder, and what is available inside your local Dropbox folder on the machine that's facing the issue?

I'd really rather not do that, Megan. I trust you but I'm just not comfortable with the idea. I'm a bit of an idiot that way.
Is there another way I can help? What would you look for in the screenshots?
Also I would be happy to re-install, but I'm not sure of the procedure.
