Hi Mike,
Thanks for your ideas.
You'd think that, by several hours after a reboot, Dropbox would have
sorted itself out?
(It seems to occur after a lapse of days when I haven't used it to
transfer files. The cause, an iOS update? A Windows update? Whatever
else? Who knows.)
Nonetheless, I've done a reboot the odd time in this situation, and
things appeared to sort themselves out quickly enough afterwards -
whether that was by coincidence or design.

Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go Dodgers!

Hello,
I have the iOS (current up-to-date published version) of Dropbox, and
the Dropbox Desktop app for Windows.
Sometimes, when I wish to share a file with others, and drop my file
into their folder shared with me, using my Desktop's Dropbox, it's not
shared or being seen by those others with whom the folders are shared.
(I can ascertain that this will be the case and is, if, as sometimes
happens, the files aren't being seen by me on my iPhone either, in the
folders.)
The current solution I've found to this is to connect my iPhone to my
PC, and with a bit of navigating and what-not, getting both my Dropboxes
to see each other on-line.
Has anyone else experienced this anomaly, and have you solved it without
recourse to uninstalling either the iOS version or the Windows Desktop
version of Dropbox?
I have found Dropbox to be quite opaque, when trying to ferret out issues.
Help appreciated.
