Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks, dnemes.
Can you also follow these steps, to see if they help?
- Verify that the Windows UAC levels are set to default levels. This can be changed in your Security settings in the control panel.

- Download the newest version of the app.

- During the installation process, you may be prompted for the Admin username and password of your computer (not Dropbox).
- Finally, when prompted, enter the email address of your Dropbox account and if needed, check the advanced preferences to apply any Selective Sync settings.

You do have the latest version, it's just that reinstalling is part of the process above, that's why it's listed.
I have followed the steps above, and there are no changes, regrettably.
Yes of course. Feel free to send me an email.
