I'm new to DropBox. For Now, I'm starting slowly, to get the hang of it. I have a Professional Account and opted not to use SmartSync when installing the product. For now I've kept it simple. I have a folder on my local hard drive that contains about 8 or 10 subfolders, with mixed data files in the subfolders, mostly PDF"s and MS Word Files. It's not particularly large, about 250 megs. I copied and pasted the folder from it's place on my local drive to the New Drop Box Folder on the Same Local Drive. All of the folders and files uploaded to Drop Box without a problem. I added a new Sub-Folder to the Folder which was copied and pasted to the Drop Box Drive. That folder and the one small pdf that was in it does not show up when I pull up the browser to view my files. I did not add it to the Dropbox Folder on my local drive, because I was under the impression that when additional subfolders were added to the original folder they would automatically appear in the Drop Box Drive on both my local drive and the drop box cloud drive.
The Drop Box program in the bottom right of my screen show that everything is up to date. The app also reports no sync issues. Under Preferences Selective Sync is selected, and shows the top level directory and all original subdirectories, and is selected to sync. I am not using online only and have the preferences set to local.
Why isn't the new sub-directory showing up in my Dropbox files. It would seem logical that when I select a directory as a folder to sync, any new subdirectories would automatically be added. This would render this product pretty useless to me if it didn't add the new sub folders automatically.
I'm not interested in Smarty Sync and want to maintain my local files on my computer for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is my internet speed is adquate, but not great.
Please help me out here, this doesn't make sense to me.
