One of my folders just disappeared on my Mac, how can I get it back?
Hello,
One of my main folders on my Dropbox just disappeared in my finder. It is there, because I checked it in my browser. But I work from my finder, bcuae I use Photoshop/Illustrator/After E...
Hello Zdravko,
Unfortunatelly the folder I am not seeing is synced, like all other folder, as you can see below:
It is about the folder Atlasova /content. It is there, but for some reason it is not showing in my finder:
Also, the file '00860_Explosion.ai' (which was suppose to go into the Content folder) seems to not appear in the Dropbox folder in my browser.
Anyone any idea what is going on?
About missing folder,...🤔 I prefer not to speculate. The only certain thing is that Selective Sync is not "guilty". It may be related to (or the same root issue with) your next question though.

If that's the first appearance of this file in that folder, it's normal the file to not appear in your web browser till its sync complete (the opposite is also true). Otherwise (if the file was only changed) in the web browser will keep exist the old version till new file sync complete (again opposite is also true). As may be seen on your screenshot - the file is in process of sync. 😉 That's it.
Hope this clarifies some of the things.
Thanks for the explanation. 🙂
I understand that the file is not appearing, because I need to sync 46,255 files first. FYI: they are not syncing. But this morning I just could brows in a normal way through all my files in that /content folder.How can it happen that I now have to sync 46k files? Which are not even syncing? (the number is not going down)
Thanks!

This is the main question and broken sync may results in your both issues you described. Try troubleshooting - like rebooting your computer, sign out/in, etc.
Good luck.
Thank you for replying.
I already restarted my computer several times.
I deleted the Dropbox app from my computer and I reinstalled it. I also deleted the Dropbox-folders from my finder, to start over. But, nothing happens: My Dropbox is still wants to sync 46,000 files. Which is insane.Yesterday morning nothing was wrong with my Dropbox, but now I can not work anymore. I deleted my folders from my finder, but I can't seem to fix how to get them back. So at this moment I cannot acces any of my files via finder.
Can someone please tell me what is going on?
