Dropbox installation problems after offline and advanced install attempts.
About a week ago, the dropbox app from my system tray disappeared after a regular reboot. Previously it worked fine. I have an open ticket with dropbox but after a week everything they have suggested I try has not worked. I have Windows 11 and the app is working on my machine at work and on my husband's computer, which is connected to the same network at home. I've tried disabling antivirus, looking for a folder called "Dropbox/client" to delete (never found one), advanced installation, offline installation. The app never installs on my list of programs. At first I was getting an error message. Now the installation process proceeds very quickly--too quickly--and at the end, the appl is never there. The computer is only about 9 months old, is working fine with everything else. Any thoughts? Should I hire a computer technician to help? Thank you!

Hey jlsdyoung23, I completely understand where you're coming from.
I see your ticket's priority is already raised, but I passed your feedback along to our team and hopefully your issue will get resolved really soon.
Let us know if you need anything else.
Hello! I still do not have a solution and am thinking of leaving dropbox. I am receiving help from someone but they only send me one message per day. I reply but then they don't get back to me for 24 hours which has extended this ticket over almost 2 weeks. I know there are other alternatives. I am not a business so I think I will just use one of them. If there's something I'm missing as to what might be going on with the installation I'm happy to try something else but at this point the pace of the support ticket is very slow. It is not a conversation or chat but one message per day which takes a long time to resolve an issue.
Thank you very much for your reply! I'll keep an eye on my inbox.
