Dropbox Folders are only selectively syncing

Dropbox Folders are only selectively syncing

I have several iMacs and a couple of Macbook Pros.

 

One of my Macbook Pros is only selectively updating dropbox folders and content.

 

Why would this be? How do I rectify it?

Thanks for posting on our forum, @AR2023!

 

Do you mean that you can't see your folders at all locally, because they've been unselected in your Dropbox app’s preferences (via selective sync)?

 

If your folders aren’t selected on this list, then they won’t show up at all in your local Dropbox folder. 

 

Let me know, if that helps or if I've misunderstood something.
