Hi there Deanshewitz - thanks for sharing your thoughts on this with us.

 

Syncing happens automatically when you're working within the Dropbox mobile app or your Dropbox folder on your computer(s) while the Dropbox desktop app is syncing.

 

When it doesn't happen automatically for you, could you clarify where you're working? Is it through a web browser, the desktop app or the mobile app perhaps?

 

If you're using the desktop app, are you ensuring that the desktop app is 'up to date' and not still syncing your changes?

 

Let us know more and we'll take it from there.
