    Hi KimBob58, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Is the Dropbox desktop application currently running on your machine? 

     

    What message do you see, on the bottom left, when you click the Dropbox icon in the system tray/menu bar?

     

    This will help me to assist further!

    Hi Jay,

    It is operational and I have been saving files for some time that I now realise have not been uploaded to dropbox online. I can't find the icon on a list. I did have an issue where my applications folder disappeared. That may have caused this. I've looked at solutions like restarting or re installing dropbox but I would worried I will lose all these recent  files

    Okay, so just for clarification, you cannot see the Dropbox icon in the menu bar, and it's also not in the Applications menu?
