Desktop app not showing all my folders

Hi, I’m using a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro with Dropbox desk top. My MacBook pro works fine with drop box but my Mac pro does not display all folders. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled.

    Hey Duforbes, thanks for posting on our Community and sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

     

    If you've made sure that the desktop app is 'up to date' and not still syncing in your menu bar on both of your devices, could you check your selective sync settings in the app's preferences to see if there's any folder that's un-synced from your Mac Pro? 

     

    Let me know what you find!

    Hi,

    Thanks for the help. Selective syncing didn’t have these folders selected. Needed the point in the right direction. Appreciate it
