Hi Bruce K.14, if the files are only visible on the site and not your machine, have you tried downloading them manually and putting them in the same location in the Dropbox folder?

    Things have gone from bad to worse. The app Icon reports 44 files being uploaded and downloading 4,507 files. Only 1 file is reported with a sync issue when I select the fix issues tab.  That file is presently available on my device!!! See Attached.  The bad to worse is because all of my work done since the problem began IS NOT ON THE DEVICE I TAKE TO COURT!! I copied the files for my case today to a thumb drive and transferred them to my laptop. For all intents and purposes, I am back in the stone age. Manually copying files to my laptop is not sustainable. I really need someone with knowledge to grease this wheel. PLEASE

      Hey Bruce, would you mind sending us a screenshot of the file info of an example file that is giving you the sync issues?

        Dear Hannah,

        Ver170.4.5895 Uploading 16 Files downloading 4k files since March 16, 2023, and growing. This information was also sent to Craig (Dropbox Support). You stated that this would be expedited and transferred to a unit specializing in errors of this type, that you are only an email away. Forgive me if I perceive that this matter is not taken seriously by your support. Is this indeed a recommendation to use another provider?

        I am again providing you with a screenshot previously provided and taken again today.
