Hey everyone, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Have any of you tried to do a more advanced reinstall of the Dropbox app, to see if that helps?

    Hannah,

    Like the others on the thread I have had the same problem for quite a while.  I performed the advanced reinstall using the instruction in the link and after following Rodper321's instructions for replicating the problem, unfortunately the advanced reinstall did not fix the problem.  Dropbox connected to the internet and performed a sync after the app was reinstalled but after disabling/enabling the network connection and relaunching Dropbox I get the "Reconnecting to the Internet" message.  Windows 10 Pro/22H2 Dropbox app version 195.4.4995
