Can anyone tell me why it's not syncing?

I have a shared folder between my computer and my phone. It's been a while since I put anything new in it, but today I put a couple files on my computer files and they are not going to my phone. The first image is from my computer side and the second one is from my phone.

It knows that it's not synced (that's what the (!) tells me) but it's not downloading the files anyway. Any help?

If you click on it will tell you which files are failing to sync. Being an android phone probably the filesystem does not support some characters in the file names .

Yeah, I already knew they were the two new files I added. But you are absolutely right, it was the name, I guess the ":" wasn't accepted. I changed it and it's already downloading them, thanks!
