Cannot see all of my files

Cannot see all of my files

New office iMac, running Sonoma 14.2.

Shared Dropbox account with hubby.

In Finder I can can only see "me only" files, not our shared "root directory". 

Can see all files in Dropbox.com. Btw: all files are online only.

Bought another iMac in 2023, did the install and everything went smoothly. On that machine I can see all files in Finder.

Have Dropbox Standard with 3 licenses (only using 2 currently).

Help! Not a techie so please keep it understandable. Thanks!

Thanks for the images. Do you have selective sync enabled and preventing entirely folders from being visible on your computer?

Hi @taskleton, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Could you attach a screenshot showing the Dropbox folder as it appears in Finder and on the website to understand what you're experiencing?

 

This will help me to assist further!

And now this came up when I tried to save a file in one of my Lynn Taska (me) file folders:

I was able to grant myself access but why was I asked this? This is all odd
