Dropbox Folder Items NOT showing up on my computer
I've been a DROPBOX user for over 10 years and love all the features. Recently, I have been having a problem , which I believe is syncing with my computer.
This seems to happen only with photos. ...

That was the problem. The Computer application was not starting. I checked my startup options and DROPBOX was turned off. Not sure why.
So, once I started it, it took DROPBOX about 2 hours to sync everything. So, now I am back to normal.
Thank you for your help!

Hi Ron D.7, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Just for clarification, are you not seeing the notification for the files being added to your machine, or are they not in the camera uploads folder?
What is the current status of the Dropbox desktop application when you hover over the icon in the system tray/menu bar?
This will help me to assist further!
