Dropbox is taking hours to sync, I can't tell exactly how long because the time stamps on the website make no sense - they say the files were modified. . . tomorrow. Actually my netbook (windows xp) says they're last modified tomorrow in windows explorer as well. It's bizarre.

The time and date on both computers are correct.

The files in question are in a symlinked directory on the laptop (which are synced fine, with the correct timestamps).

I have looked for an option to force dropbox to sync, but haven't located one. (There might be a command line method, but I haven't had the time to explore).

thanks
