I am unable to see a file my roommate put in my drop box. We are both running the latest versions of panter. I am sure the file is there as when I do a search for it on my harddrive it shows up as being in my drop box in my public folder. When i copy a file to his drop box he has no problems seeing it.
Any ideas?

What are the permissions on the file?

thanks for the reply.
permissions are read and write
the file is a .avi
i dragged the file to my desktop from the search results and then copied it to my room mates drop box and he could see it no problem. i also copied a couple of other files from my computer to his drop box and he had no problems seeing them either.
there seems to be no problem exchanging files between us apart from me being able to see them.

try this:

open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) and enter the following commands :

rm -rf "~/Public/Drop Box"
mkdir "~/Public/Drop Box"
chmod 733 "~/Public/Drop Box"
touch "~/Public/Drop Box/.localized"
rm -f /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices.*

(this will delete and recreate your drop box fodler with the right permissions, and delete the Finder cache).
Log out and login back before trying to copy the file in the dropbox again.
