Dropbox Backup shows external drive not plugged in even though it is
I have Dropbox Backup backing up my iMac and have added my external SSD as an additional backup. Everything went well until I restarted the computer and the external disk was then shown as unplugged ...
Hi Nancy
It may have been updating but I can't be sure. Also, the Dropbox icon is there and the SSD Backup is "up to date". However, the iMac is stating "Backing up" but it has been like that for weeks and does not change even though it is "up to date".
Hello again Nancy
To confirm - the SSD has updated but the desktop
app remains convinced that it needs to be plugged in.

Thanks for the extra info!
I was able to do a little digging in the meantime, and I can see that you already have an open ticket regarding this issue, which has been escalated to our advanced team.
Now, since they have more visibility on your Dropbox account, I’d recommend continuing with them directly. I’ve also left them an internal note, so that they can see our convo here.
Can we get an update on this? I am experiencing the same issue.
