    I had the same problem and didn’t really want to have to re-install.

     

    ‘Open Dropbox upon startup’ was enabled but it wouldn’t start unless I opened it manually however I did fix it without having to re-install:

     

    1. I turned off ‘Open Dropbox upon startup’ in preferences.
    2. Shut down the computer.
    3. Restarted the computer and turned ‘Open Dropbox upon startup’ back on.
    4. Shut down and restarted the computer and it launched like it should without me having to do it manually.
    5. Shut down and restarted a couple more times and it has launched every time.

Dear Madame,

where is the info and why the programmer didn't solve the bug?

That is the only way to solve the bug for all other customers and no other way.

If this isn't solved, no paying client! You get paid for this time "non-Service- job", but your customer have not the time nor they are willing to spend their time, for thinkÂŽgs your programmer has to fix the bug.

Thank you FP-MKD,

FP-MKD,
