Dropbox Community ModeratorHi Nick390, hope it’s OK to jump in.
Can you let me know how much free space you currently have on your local hard drive?
Can you also send me a screenshot of the syncing icons you see next to most of your Dropbox files, so that I can make sure they’re online-only indeed, and not taking up hard drive space?
Finally, I’d like you to click on the small Dropbox icon in your system tray, and tell me what’s your app’s syncing status.
Nancy,
Also, My initial frustration was days of "looking for" the Dropbox windows app.
The only thing I have is the icon in the system tray, that opens a small status window that allow preferences, and some other minor thing, and it opens a "Windows file explorer" for you.
I was expecting a full featured desktop application,, there is a dropbox icon on the start menu that does nothing.
I am now assuming there is only the little app on the system tray and the file explorer?
