    Hey joshuaelectric, do you have the small Dropbox icon in your menu bar, by your WiFi icon?

     

    And if so, what happens when you click on it?

        Hey joshuaelectric. Can you also try to download the Dropbox app again via our offline installer? 

         

        Are you seeing the Dropbox icon in your menu bar after that, if you double click on the Dropbox app in your Finder > Applications folder?
