Megasync is just not doing anything at all. It was working perfectly but stopped a few weeks ago. I have around 8gb of free space spare, I can access the online client but if I put a new file in my supposedly synced mega folder then it just doesn't do anything at all.

Any ideas?

Ok, for some reason the blue check-mark next to the sync folder was deselected:

For Mac, I have found THIS. It might be related to MacOS privacy settings for Megasync.

Open Mac “System Preferences” app, then “Security & Privacy”. Click “Privacy” at the top. Click “Files and Folders” on the left. On the right, find MEGAsync.app and toggle the checkbox to UNCHECKED. If it prompts you to quit Megasync, decline. Then toggle the checkbox back to CHECKED. When it prompts you to quit Megasync, choose the option to quit/close Megasync. Now if you restart Megasync, it should start syncing again. If not, then ensure Megasync Preferences > “Syncs” tab has the local folder enabled/checked (see first paragraph, above).

I have personally seen this problem on Linux, where the synced directory was on a second drive that was not mounted at startup, or that was mounted after Megasync started. This can be fixed by delaying the startup of the client as said here.
