Files aren't fully syncing between Windows and Kbuntu

Files aren't fully syncing between Windows and Kbuntu

I am using Dropbox to share working files between a couple of computers, on Windows 11 and the other on Kbuntu Linux.  Everything worked fine for a while but now, the files I save from the Linux box do not appear to file explorer on the Windows box.  The files are available to Linux - I just downloaded one from Dropbox and copies it to a USB drive and brought it to the Windows box where I copied it up to Dropbox.  It went into the Dropbox file it just came from as if new.  If I go back to linux and try to copy it, it sees a copy already there.

 

Any suggestion on how to fix this?

I rebooted the PC and now they show up everywhere.  I don't know what to make of that.  I could upload to Dropbox.  Move files around.  But none of that info propagated until I rebooted?  Bizarre.   I'm going to read a book.  Analog.  🙂
