Dropbox Community ModeratorHi all, thanks for your reports so far and your patience while our team is looking into this.
A new version of the desktop app just came out, so could you please give it a go from this page and let us know if the issue persists?
I have installed the updated version ( just by running it, not by uninstalling dropbox first)
One one windows 10 and one windows 11 computer - the start menu and system trays link still do not work on either computer but the desktop shortcut does work. I suspect the desktop shortcuts work because they target the dropbox file folder location and not the app location. Thank you for working on fixing this.
