Nope - I am not sure, but it might be, that the syncing stopped when I got my new computer. I installed everything and in regards to when my last items where sync on the private account, it must have been around that time. Could that be a problem?

    Yes - I guess that has been the problem 🙂 I deleted all the old devices and now we are syncing properly on all devices 🙂 Thank you for your help, Jay!
