I can't get the Dropbox app to load on my Macbook Air M2?
No way to open settings. Clicking Dropbox just opens the Dropbox folder in Finder
It appears to be syncing something maybe, but I have no control over it
Please fix, this is terrible

3 years agoHey BoRubin, if you're referring to the old Dropbox application interface that used to look a bit like our website, that's been deprecated.
You can now only access your files through the local Dropbox folder.
If you click on the Dropbox icon in your system tray, then on your initials/profile pic, then on "preferences" and then on "sync", what's the location of the Dropbox folder there?
As for your case, duck_you, do you have a small Dropbox icon in your menu bar, by your WiFi icon?
If so, hovering over it will give you the sync status and version of the Dropbox app and clicking on your initials/profile pic will take you to the app's preferences too.

Hi Hannah,
Sorry, I don't mean the old Dropbox application, I mean literally launching the Dropbox process, starting it up and causing it to sync, and a Dropbox icon appear in the system tray. Like would've happened when starting up windows, should the "start Dropbox on system startup" option was ticked.
The shortcut, which has always done that, stopped doing it.
The sync location, as mentioned above, is E:\Dropbox
Thank you,
Bo
