Folder not showing up on my computer
Set up a new folder in dropbox and wasn't ablet to see the same folder under my file explorer on my computer. It seems that they were not syncrhozing and I have selected all folders under selective sync. No idea? help will be appreciated.
Thanks Rich. Good to know. This may be the problem. When I rename the folder, it now works? Don't exactly see the logic but anyway it somehow works now. Thank you for your help.

What was the original name of the folder? It was likely using a character that's considered illegal on your operating system, so Dropbox wasn't able to create it locally.
Worked for me, as soon as I removed dots from the troubled folder name, DropBox displayed the folder in my Explorer and synched all files. Back in business - Thank you!
