content to a subfolder
Hi, if I add content to a subfolder of a folder that is among those selected for synchronization, isn't the Dropbox content updated automatically?

Dropbox will only sync files and folders inside of the Dropbox directory. So if you add something in to Dropbox or a subfolder it will sync. If its to another location and you've copied files over, it wont.

It doesn't update the content for me. The synchronization is stopped at 6 days ago. I closed and relaunched the Dropbox Desktop app but nothing...

Hi IlCubano1, could you confirm that you are definitely adding content into the Dropbox folder and any subfolders in there, in order for the Dropbox desktop application to sync it?
A screenshot of the desktop app when you click it would help greatly.

Hi, in the first screenshot the folder on the PC in the second is the same folder uploaded to Dropbox, as you can see the Ferrari Luca folder is not there

Hey IlCubano1 , sorry to jump in here, but could you confirm that the desktop app is running on your computer and that it's up to date and not still syncing in your system tray?
