Hey NickPT, thanks for reaching out to the Dropbox Community.
While there's no such option for Android, there is in fact a refresh option on Windows.
If you open a folder and right click anywhere in the folder (but not n a specific file), you should see a "refresh" option.
However, keep in mind that the changes you're making will need to sync first, in order for them to be available in your account online and other connected devices.
When the files you add do not appear on your wife's device, is it possible that they haven't synced on your end yet?
Keep me posted.
Thank you Hanna for your reply, I will accept this as a solution to my question.
Dropbox really does need a "Folder Refresh" feature for Android devices.
Does Dropbox provide a suggestions/report bugs area?
