    Hmm, try reinstalling it from the link I gave you, to see if the shortcut returns.

Hi tammy1999, thanks for messaging the Community.

 

Are you referring to a shortcut to open the app itself, or to open the Dropbox folder located on your machine?

 

This will help me to assist further!

Ooppss. Sorry for not explaining more.

 

The shortcut would be to open the app. I used to have one but had to reinstall Windows 11 and now I can't get it to show up. TYIA

    Hey tammy1999! Thanks for the additional info here and sorry to jump in.

     

    Do you currently have the Dropbox application installed on your computer?

     

    If not, to get the Dropbox shortcut, you'll need to install it from this page.

      The app is on my computer, but there is no shortcut that automatically is added to the desktop.
