Hello Guys,

I am trying to connect to dropbox folder and download .fit activities from a specific folder but after add the account, give credentials and authorise correctly, golden cheetah does not see my .fit files inside the folder.

When create the connection to dropbox, golden cheetah found my folder correctly and see my .fit files and folders in dropbox:

but after click on open and save buttons, there are not activities in the synchronise window:

So my golden cheetah is empty, no activities at all.

I have Installed and Reinstalled golden cheetah, deleted and created connection, deleted athlete... I don't know what am I doing wrong?

Version 3.6
Windows 11

Thanks a lot!

TITO

I can't see from the screenshot, but what date range did you select?
Also, once you are happy with the date range you will need to click on refresh list

FIT files can be imported from Dropbox folders mapped on your machine manually or automatically using autoimport, see the wik for details:: https://github.com/GoldenCheetah/GoldenCheetah/wiki/UG_First-Steps_Download-or-import#importing-from-a-file and

Ah yes, of course- my bad. This is vital because we need to be able to sync in both directions- and once the data has been enriched with metadata in GC we cannot keep in FIT format.

Good evening, I searched the FAQ but didn't find a solution. Seeing this discussion I connect and look for a solution. Thanks for your help .
