My app has been constantly syncing 4 files.

Wel well, good news. To take off the file from dropbox and put it in again was one of my first test. Now you are asking it I wanted to confirm you but not before testing again and suprisley it wored out. I don´t know how, maybe is something I should have done after I did log out and log in again. Maybe you have a greater explanetion. I´ll keep an eye out.

Dropbox StaffHey @AugustoGoico, thanks for the screenshot.
Have you restarted your computer at all, like Megan suggested?
If that doesn't work, try these steps here to fix your hardlinks and permissions and let us know how it goes.
Hanna, thank you for the fast answer, I did the bouth tricks with the Alt + H and it says that the repair was successfully done but it doesn't solve the problem. Always with the same 4 files.
What do you mean with restart, I do shout down the computer every days.

Hey @AugustoGoico, is it possible that the files/folders you can't see locally have some invalid characters that prevent them from syncing?
If you open your Dropbox folder, can you locate these files and check what their syncing icons are?
Hi Megan, the characters are alright. It´s strange because it started some day, before this there was no problem with this files.
If I set the files to be without connection is ok with green circule but if I set them to be online it doesn´t get the cloud like the others.
I put the file anywhere inside the dropbox folder and is the same.

Hey @AugustoGoico, do you try to double click the files in question, in order for them to get downloaded locally, or right click on them and then select "available offline"?
