I have Win11 Home up to date. Have spent hours trying to Sync with no luck.
I have Win11 Home up to date. Have spent hours trying to Sync with no luck. I have the following conclusion. Am I correct?
Win11 Home does not have Sync ability to Dropbox Cloud. Installing ...
I've just realised its just a Circular reference. Just never seen anything like it before. So I am going ahead and Accepting as Solution.
Megan tx so much. I have spent so many hours trying to find Sync on my Win11 Home w/o success, following all sorts of disparate advice on the web. I did that bec. I was trying to keep my files available offline. So, I was correct in my original question (local desktop folder), BUT I do now see, following your msg, that if I go to dropbox.com, my files ARE there also.
Second related question: So I have the local Dropbox folder in File Explorer which includes a Desktop folder. On opening that Desktop folder in File Explorer, there is a second Dropbox folder dup;licative, and opening that yet another. Seems like it is "Dropbox all the way down"! Very confusing. I would like to understand what is the point i.e. what is going here - have I screwed something up?
Correction to third and second last sentence: Desktop all the way down -not Dropbox.

Hi WaltFreedman, are you saying that there is a shortcut to your Desktop from within the Dropbox folder, but it endlessly shows itself?
Do you have the Dropbox Backup feature enabled on your account?
Jay - I mis-remembered . Its like this:
Open File Explorer and open the Dropbox folder which contains my files and a Desktop folder
Open Desktop folder - and it has a second Dropbox folder
Open that Dropbox and see my files and again a Desktop folder.
Open that Desktop folder and again my files with a Dropbox folder....... on and on at least down 3 levels at which point I stopped
So its alternating Dropbox .. Desktop..Dropbox..Desktop- down an apparent "chain".
No - NOT using Dropbox for Backup/Restore. Using Google. On Dropbox, I just have a few personal files that I share with my son - we live in 2 different countries thousands of miles apart.
Also, on every level, the Properties are the same, both for the Dropbox folder and the Desktop folder.
