I'm very frequently having a problem where my iOS devices correctly show the contents of a shared dropbox folder... but on the Mac it does not. When i navigate in the finder to that dropbox folder, it shows what used to be there days ago. And if I try to click on them just gives a ["file name" can't be found] error message. I've tried clicking on one of the column headers (name, date modified) to change sort order, hoping that would cause a refresh, but usually this does not work.
And oddly, if i click on the Dropbox icon in the menu bar, where it shows "recently changed" it does indeed list the new files in the folder. What gives?
