    Thanks for keeping us in the loop on this NoteWriter - much appreciated.

    Can you maybe try the latest version of the Dropbox desktop app from this page directly and let us know if it helps perhaps?

Yes, this helped. 

Any idea why wasn't the app updating itself to the latest version automatically? I've found no "Check for updates" button anywhere.

Thanks!

Hi NoteWriter​ and welcome back to the Dropbox Community! I’m so pleased to hear your Dropbox app is finally reconnected and thank you for coming back to share your update. It’s always helpful when someone follows up, especially with trickier Mac connection issues like this ✨.

I’m Theresa 👩‍💻, one of the Community Managers here. Now that everything’s up and running again, I’d love to know... do you have a favourite Dropbox feature that helps you stay organised or makes your Mac experience smoother?

Looking forward to hearing from you,
