Certain folder not syncing to computer
I recently downloaded the Dropbox app on a new windows device, and notice that one of the folders isn’t showing on my computer explorer. I have tried restarting computer, deleting and re-downloaded Dropbox. I also checked selective downloads and the folder is selected along with all the other files, however when I search for it in explorer it doesn’t show. The funny part is that the certain folder is the one I use the most. Any suggestions to what might solve the issue?
