Shared files between two accounts are different

Question

My coworker has her own personal Dropbox account. I have my own personal Dropbox account. Somehow we can't seem to get the same files on both accounts. I have sent her multiple invites via emails and granted permission for her to access my files, but she keeps getting stuck in obsolete files on her account instead of new ones on mine. How can we know whose Dropbox account we are on?

It could be, if she's using her own account, she can basically add and store any file she wants, so it could be older files she doesn't remember adding etc., in different locations of her Dropbox.

But if the shared folders you invited her to, appear in the 'shared' page, you both should see the same contents there.

I did ask her to check the page you sent. Thanks so much, Hannah. Is it possible that she’s seeing files on HER account that I don’t have permission to see, or files I loaded on her account months ago — before I had my own account?  I think that’s what’s happening.

Hannah · Answer

No worries, @D00TS, it's okay that she opens her account; if she's been granted access, she should be able to access the folders/files from her own account too.

Can you ask her to check this page, to see if she can see the same versions/files as you?
