My new mac isn't syncing with Dropbox and I can't see the Dropbox icon on the menu bar.
Not sure if this is the right subject area, but I need some help please?
Been using DropBox for a few years now. Currently have an old Imac, an old MacBook Air running (Sierra) and a new MacBoo...
Hi JeeBee, let's jump into this!
So, you mentioned that you came across some syncing issues, on your new MacBook air.
Is it safe to assume that any changes, or additions you make inside the Dropbox folder, on that particular device, you don't see these changes reflected online either?
It's rather odd that you don't see your Dropbox icon on your menu bar too. Have you tried re-installing the app using this link?
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
Sonoma 14.7.2.
I did an advanced reinstall and got it working with sync icons. But still no icon in the menu bar. I went to System/Control Center/icons and turned off nearly all but still no icon. Still can't open the app.
The install turned on badges on Word .doc files so I used that to get to the Preferences. But still can't open the app from there - only Preferences.
The download page had a "you're already running Dropbox" message, but I clicked on the "Open Dropbox App" and nothing happened.
System Preferences/Privacy - gave DB full disk permission. I am the admin user.
I don't think that's too many icons in the menu.
Reiterating: Applications folder/Dropbox.app ALSO opens the Dropbox folder, not the app.
