Can only access folder from Dropbox online but not in my file explorer
I recently added Dropbox to my desktop. I have one file that has been on my dropbox forever that displays online and in my file explorer, but I have one folder that has recently been shared with me and will not appear in my file explorer only online. I know I can download the file but I am afraid it will not sync once things are added too it and I really need this to work efficiently for work. Any response is welcomed!

- Theoap64Explorer | Level 3This worked thank you! The file had an asterisk at the front. I took it out and it updated immediately!
