Issue with files not appearing in Finder – Dropbox Community

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2015

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.
