In the system tray, Dropbox was staying there when it installed and reverted, but since I deleted the Standard Installer file which didn't even work, now when Dropbox reverted, it removed the icon from the system tray. What the hell is going on, after so many years of a product that had no issue, suddenly all of this!!! -- Looks like I'm stuck with 216.3.4299, which this time, I actually uninstalled in Settings, then installed the new version, which sucked because the installer doesn't want to use the current folder named "Dropbox" which is another thing you should fix!!! -- What a major cockup!!!

I can't check Dropbox in the system tray, so I checked Settings, and there it is, again, 216.3.4299. A number I can't unmemorize. 🤬🖕

    Did you toggle off the 'early releases' from your account's settings before installing the latest, stable version of the Dropbox desktop app L_?

      I forgot to mention, I followed Ryan's link to my settings page, and that option isn't there. Perhaps a more in depth link, with all the /slugs would help.

      You need to be more specific that this default settings page.

        The "early releases" option should be a bit further down on that page L_ - did you find it to toggle it off?

      Is there a reason my Desktop shortcuts are now being synced? It's annoying, and all the solid filled green ticks appear at the center bottom of the icons, while the white green ticks are bottom left.

        Are you using the Dropbox Backup feature by any chance L_? 

        A screenshot of what's troubling you would also help, so feel free to send us one in your next response.
