A folder in my account will not sync to the Dropbox folder

Question

Hi all,

I have had a shared folder within my Dropbox for sometime, I have done a fresh windows install but left the original Dropbox folder on a separate drive. I setup a fresh install of Dropbox and it has re-sync'd all files and folders, with the exception on this one! I have downloaded the folder, saved it elsewhere within the Dropbox folder and deleted the original shared folder via the website, but I am still getting sync issues. Any ideas? The message is "Couldn't download. In the file properties, unselect Read Only" I have done this in Windows, but it defaults back

Any ideas?

Chris

Hay - thanks for getting back to me, and you were right, it was a folder issue. Found the solution here https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/need-permission-from-s-1-5-21-etc-to-delete-a/af867a27-358c-4a22-a580-5ddf16cfcda1
