backup not synchronising
Since having installed the new version of dropbox on my mac, the backup does not work properly.
Before I would write a new file and straight away it would be available on my other computer and ipad...

Super User IIWhat does Dropbox say when it is running if you mouse over its icon on the status bar?
Thanks for replying Mark
Just says syncing and at the bottom that it is updating files, but nothing happens.
The strange thing is that anything in the dropbox folder synchronises without problem, it's just the backup synchronising
I wonder if it is not a software problem in this new version 159 4 5870I had no problem before with the previous version

Hey dompac, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Can you let me know the exact version of your OS?
Also if you click on the Dropbox icon in your menu bar, then on your initials and then on "view sync issues", do you see anything there?
Thanks for your queries
OS Ventura13.0 (but the problem started before ventura when I updated dropbox to the newest version)
Drop box is 159 4 5870
Yes I have 101 issues that I cannot rectify as they are part of a Express VPN program (I don't know how to exclude them from the backup) .dat.nosync01f3.MtPd7h
But there seems to be 270 files that are trying without success to backup.
as you see from the screen shot, even after having changed a few files the last back up dates from more the a day.
Have have up yo now no problem in synching the files in dropbox which are not part of the backup files
It says that all has been sync
