Syncing was working fine, but after the 6.0.1 update on one computer, I started getting a: Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action.

If I click on the Sync now button, same error. I check my sync key and it's correct.

The problem persists even after the 6.0.2 update. At one point in time on Saturday it did sync, but it still went back to not synching.
