After a new install on mac studio, I opted for online only, however in Finder under dropbox folder I cannot see most of my folder or files. How do I get my online only folders & files to show?

 

Thanks-

Hey there, @KickingupDust, happy Wednesday! 

 

What is the app's syncing status as we speak? Is it still syncing content, or is it up to date? 

 

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there.

Megan,

 

Thanks for your assistance.

 

The syncing is complete & I cannot see all my online only folders etc.

Hi @KickingupDust!

 

Have you checked the files and folders for any invalid file names, that could be preventing them from syncing? 

 

If I were you, I'd also check the selective sync settings of the app, to see what you can find there.

Hi Megan, I have te same issue. So I continued syncing but dropbox is now overfilling my harddrives with all files on dropbox that I don't want on my computer. I only want to see the online-only icons of all files I have on the dropbox cloud.

Need more support?
