Didn't uninstall & install yet Hannah; can't afford a risk of losing more than 30 minutes of my time right now :P

Hi again, Wilma!
If you tried my previous suggestions and they didn't work, let me know so we can try something else. :)

It's not sorted Megan. I think that the sync symbol will never change without intervention of a hardcore dropbox- genius ;)

Oh, I completely understand, Wilma. Troubleshooting can be hard when issues are persistent!
If you do wish to continue working on it, I'd suggest uninstalling the app this time, restarting the computer and then reinstalling it.
This won't affect or remove the files in your Dropbox folder.
But I do understand if you don't wish to continue.
We'll be here either way, if you need anything else.

Hi Wilma!
Indeed, if my translation is correct, the message on the screenshot is talking about a removable drive, so perhaps it has to do with our backup feature.
Regarding your issue, though, there's no need to uninstall the app yet. You can simply download and run the installer, without uninstalling the previous one.
Let me know if it helps!
