Dropbox desktop app on my Windows is stuck. "Reconnecting to the internet. This may take a moment".
Dropbox is showing "Reconnecting to the internet. This may take a moment".
I need a solution for this.
I tried everything-
- Internet Connection Issues
- Firewall or Antivirus Blocking Dropbox
- VPN or Proxy Interference (Though when i turn on vpn it starts to sync but only for a minute)
- Dropbox Server Issues (Dropbox in my browser is running smoothly. Also i checked ping dropbox.com)
- DNS or Network Configuration
- Check Date & Time Settings
- Outdated App or Windows Version
- Network Adapter Issues (Everything without dropbox app is running smoothly)
Please i need an urgent solution for this. Please help me.

Hey AfrozaMoury, welcome to our Community!
The first thing I'd like to ask is the exact OS on the devices you're using, along with the Dropbox version you use there. You can find the version by hovering your mouse over the little Dropbox icon, next to your WiFi in your taskbar.
In addition to that, could you check the proxy settings in the Dropbox desktop application preference by using these steps? Please try setting it to 'No proxy' to see if this helps.
One last thing: can you please reboot your computer and internet router and let me know if you're still getting the same error? If you do, I'd appreciate a screenshot too.
Keep me posted!
