I need to sync my Documents folder in real time with the rest of my computers
Howdy.
Installed desktop ver. 197.4.7571 on my Windows 10 desktop machine today, and made a mistake to set my online Documents folder to BACKUP. Now the files that are in that folder are on my Wind...
Worked it out. Moved my documents folder into the dropbox folder and now multi unit sync is back to where it was before setting up Backup.
Easy fix! Unlink "BACKUP" folder in Dropbox settings. Then set your online Documents folder for real_time sync and move files back to Documents. This will trigger syncing on both devices
OK. I deleted the BACKUP, but now how do I go about getting the files in my Documents folder to re-sync in real time? I set Preferences>Sync to "Available offline", and Selective Sync to PC>Documents, save, but files in my Documents folder do not appear in Dropbox.
