Dropbox on my computer does not sync, only syncs if I restart the app.
I don't understand what is going on. This started happening yesterday and today, any change I make from my PC dropbox does not get synced to my dropbox, sometimes files take like 10 minutes in or...
Thank you all for reporting this, it is related to a known issue a number of users experienced last week. The team have now resolved this and it should be working again.
Please let us know if we can help with anything else or you're still having trouble!
Hi all. Problem seems fixed now! :)

Sorry to hear that Sabbl.
Can you send us a screenshot of the app's exact status as shown in your menu bar/system tray?
My Dropbox is no longer syncing as well. I do most of my work on my iPad, and it has always synced to my PC before, but since December nothing has synced.
- WalterHey SBAL1; thanks for joining the discussion here and sorry about your syncing issue.
Can you please send us a screenshot of the app's status as shown in your menu bar/system tray so that we can have a better look into this for you?
Thanks! Mine seems still ok, I'll keep watching! ;)
Hello,
my dropbox only synchronized after I paused and resumed the sync. I decided to start using a beta version of the software, now the taskbar circle with arrows just keeps spinning and the status message just says
"Syncing...
Starting..."
This is happening only on one of the two Linux (debian-based) computers I have dropbox running and which I am trying to synchronize.
Thanks so much - I ended up reinstalling Dropbox on my computer and now it is syncing fine.
Hi I have been having a similar problem, if I edit a file on my PC, it saves to Dropbox and then to my Galaxy s9+ all ok, but if I edit on the phone nothing happens, file is saved in WDS but doesn't get transferred to Dropbox and on to PC folder. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, it works ok for a while then I have to reinstall again.
This just started happening a few days ago, I have used Dropbox for 3 or 4 years with no problem till now.
- WalterHi Bill E.12, thanks for joining the discussion here and sorry to hear about this.
I'm sorry to ask, but can you please clarify what WDS stands for exactly?
Also, do the edits on this file make it normally to our servers, meaning if you're able to see them when you access your account through a web browser?
