My dropbox account is not syncing shared folders to the Mac-app or the iPhone-app, but is synced online. I have tried reinstalling and I have checḱed that there is no selective sync-setting. Any solutions?
Hi again,
I have tried the latest suggestions, but the the files are still nok syncing on my MacBook Pro, but the files are syncing on my iPhone now. I tried installing Dropbox-app op an iMac and everything is syning there as well. When accessing older view only files in the same folder, I can see they have not been synced in 2 months. This is right around when my MacBook Air hard drive crashed. It has been to an Apple retailer, and is unfixable. Because of this I got av new MacBook Pro where I installed the Dropbox-app. The view only files added by administrators of these files, have not been syncing after this. I have tried to look at the security settings on my MacBook Pro compared to the iMac, and they seem to be the same, so this does not either seem to be the problem for the syncing issues.
I have also reinstalled the Dropbox-app and logged in with the same user on all 3 devices.
Any more suggestions?
Kind regards,
Lars

Hi again,
I have admin privileges. I tried installing the dropbox app on the guest user and it synced instantly. Since I have the basic user profile in Dropbox and already have 3 devices that use the app, I had to deactivate one. I deactivated the one for my user on the MacBook Pro I am using and reactivated it when I logged on the admin-user again, but I am still experiencing the same syncing problems. The syncing problems are therefor user-dependent on the MacBook Pro. How can this be?
Kind regards
