Files uploaded to a shared folder come with a red circle and an X on them. Why?
I just uploaded a bunch of PDFs to a shared dropbox folder and instead of the green circle with checkmark to the right, they're accompanied by a red circle with an X. Does anyone know what this means...
Found the problem. The author of these files used a\in their name. Replacing the backslash with a hyphen replace's the error flag with an up-to-date flag and they now appear at/home.
Thanks for your help Mark!

Thx Mark. When I mouse over the dropbox icon on the status bar a pop-up message appears stating "Drop box 54.4.90 up to date"
- MarkAre the files open at present? If so they wont be able to sync.
If not try closing and reopening the folders - I sometimes find things get mixed up.
Can you see those files online at www.dropbox.com/home ?The files are not open at present. Closing and then opening the folder produces the same results. The error flagged files are not visible on www.dropbox.com/home.
