Issue with files not appearing in Finder – Dropbox Community

September 22, 2015

https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/201281529-Issue-with-files-not-appearing-in-Finder?flash_digest=b581a6c87f0fda12df9f7491989f1e385c8ef212 QT:{{”

Instead of re-launching Finder, an alternative in my case is to manually create a new folder inside the dropbox folder that doesn’t show the new files and then to immediately delete the new (still empty) folder. Upon deletion, the list of files is updated. Very annoying.
