Have you closed whatever program the map is using to let the sync complete?
I was extending my Windows 10 for a year and I guess something went wrong that specific afternoon
But is whatever application accessing the map closed? Dropbox cannot sync open files.
Or, have you tried restarting Dropbox or the machine?
Yes Mark, I close and clean my laptop every day.
And I use syncing Dropbox almost every day. Everything since that afternoon is perfectly synct.
I can't send a screenshot but I have 4 maps, this map is called "documents" and I hope that its just a frozen symbol and everything is oke
For about 8 days is says "sync is planned"
Hi @WilmaE! Let me jump in here, too.
What happens if you try to attach your screenshot here on our forum? Are you getting any kind of error?
I’d also like a screenshot of your Dropbox app’s current syncing status.
Finally, if you add a small file to your "documents” folder, does it sync to www.dropbox.com?
Hi Nancy, thank you for jumping in !Now I see that I can upload my screenshot, so I did
All document-files after that afternoon did upload perfectly.
Will make another screenshot from my current syncing status...
I replied with 2 photoos, but I don't see 1 (yet...)
Again :
So everything is perfectly synct since that afternoon.I just want the frozen symbol in green haha
Hey @WilmaE, thanks for your screenshots and updates!
Just to confirm, did you syncing get unstuck?
If I understand correctly, it got unstuck, but the blue arrow syncing icon is still on that folder, is that right?
Yes Hannah, you are 100% right !
Hmm, if you go to your Dropbox folder, right-click anywhere within the folder (not on a file) and click on "refresh", does that make any difference?
Nope, that's one of the many things I already tried
Refreshing does nothing, nowhere...
This is another screenshot when I do a rightclick...
Thanks for the update once again, Wilma!
So, if you right-click on an empty space within the Dropbox folder and click on the "refresh" option nothing happens, right?
And I'm assuming you've restarted the Dropbox app and the computer by now, correct?
Yes (twice).
For now; I have to go to sleeeeeeeep
Hey Wilma, I hope you had a good rest!
Can you please reinstall the Dropbox app, without uninstalling it first, to see if that helps at all?
TY Hannah !
I dont dare Hannah; just read some dutch instructions and they mention that I have to delete it first #oeps
another screenshot since that afternoon, which I get every day now (sorry, all dutch...)
Must be after I made a backup on a usb-stick because Windows 10 ended its service at first...
Hi Wilma!
Indeed, if my translation is correct, the message on the screenshot is talking about a removable drive, so perhaps it has to do with our backup feature.
Regarding your issue, though, there's no need to uninstall the app yet. You can simply download and run the installer, without uninstalling the previous one.
Let me know if it helps!
Doesn't help a thing Hannah I give up now !All is well, except that symbol #exhausted 😪
Oh, I completely understand, Wilma. Troubleshooting can be hard when issues are persistent!
If you do wish to continue working on it, I'd suggest uninstalling the app this time, restarting the computer and then reinstalling it.
This won't affect or remove the files in your Dropbox folder.
But I do understand if you don't wish to continue.
We'll be here either way, if you need anything else.
Thank you for understanding me Hannah !I will keep this in mind as soon as I have more time #busyweekssss haha
Sure thing, Wilma! We'll be here!
Hey @WilmaE, I hope you're doing well!
Just popping in to see if you've had a chance to look at our last message. Still need help? We're all ears! If the issue is sorted, let us know what worked out for you.
It's not sorted Megan. I think that the sync symbol will never change without intervention of a hardcore dropbox- genius
Hi again, Wilma!
If you tried my previous suggestions and they didn't work, let me know so we can try something else.
Didn't uninstall & install yet Hannah; can't afford a risk of losing more than 30 minutes of my time right now :PWill do after X-mas
Don’t worry about it, Wilma! You can get back to us whenever you get the chance.
Happy holidays!
