I've never had to add folders from the DB site. I also have never used selective sync but it may be worth accessing DB from menu extras and opening preferences.

Hi Mike,

Have you added each of your subfolders through the DropBox website?

You had mentioned that you are running DB from the web and from an iOS device. 
Is your new Mac the first Mac that you are running DB on?

I ask, since if you have not added the subfolders through the DropBox site then 
they will not be visible in Finder on your machine but may show up on your 
iDevice.

-Just a thought…

Hi.

Yes, I am signed up to the same Dropbox account. Otherwise, it would not be 
possible to read some of my files that were just lying around in the root 
directory.

Thanks.

Hi.

I don’t know if anyone else is having problems with this, and perhaps I should 
be asking on a Dropbox forum as well, but here’s the problem I am having:

While using my 2009 MacBook, I manually created folders in Dropbox and manually 
copied individual files and folders from the MacBook   to Dropbox, where I have 
1TB of space.  When I installed Dropbox on my new MacBook Pro, I found that I 
could log onto Dropbox and that there were several individual files in my root 
folder.  However, none of the folders and subfolders were visible on the new 
machine.  I know that the folders are there, because I can use Safari to get 
into them, and they are also visible on my iPhone.

Can someone tell me how to go about accessing my Dropbox folders and the files 
contained within them on my new Mac?

Thanks in advance,

Mike
