My Dropbox desktop app was updated on my Windows device. Now I can't tell if my content is synced.

OK, so the day I dreaded seems to have finally come. Dropbox rolled out its "new appearance model" to production, bringing the end of the era of status icons overlaid on program icons and, instead,...

And for your web devs, this may be of interest...

    Yeah, it's likely level related. I have the option in every browser you tried.

      Hey Jayson L. - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

      Can you update to the latest stable version from this page directly and let us know if this persists?

      Note that you might need to reboot your computer as well during the process.

        Hi, Walter​. Thanks for weighing in.

        I will download it and apply that update as soon as my local backup finishes. Anytime one of these nail-biters occurs, I back my current iteration of Dropbox up to my local NAS in the event something unforeseen happens. Looks like it has about 3-4 hours to go...but worth it to me.
