My desktop app doesn't sync new files I add to the Dropbox folder
Since a vew days my Dropbox isn't syncing automaticly anymore when i drag files into the folder. I have to suspence dropbox and reactivate again to start the sync. Tried uninstalling Dropbox but nothing works.
- I erased my external drive and synced everything again. Everything is working now.

Hi jackybe67! Thanks for your post.
What’s the OS version of your computer?
Are you seeing the small Dropbox icon in your menu bar/system tray at all times? If yes, what’s the app version and syncing status it shows?
Let me know, and we can have a look.
Windows 11.
The icon is visable in systemtray. When i put files in folder it says that all files are synchronised. When i restart the Dropbox app it syncs.i have installed latest version.

So, if I got it right, you’re adding files in the local Dropbox folder, but they don’t show on www.dropbox.com, unless you restart your Dropbox app. Correct?
After uninstalling Dropbox from your device, did you also restart your computer and then reinstalled the app from this link?
What’s the app version Dropbox is running on your device?
