Hi there, attydave, let's jump right into this! 

 

When did you update your device? Was it recently, or some days ago? 

 

Also, I'd love to check the Dropbox version that you're using there, just to see if it's the latest one.

 

You should be able to check that, by hovering your mouse over the little Dropbox icon, on your task bar, next to your WiFi. 

 

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
