Two Dropbox folders after installing new app
OK, I downloaded and installed the new Dropbox app...now I have two Dropbox folders -- ugh!
How do I delete the old one without losing any content????

This is a bit frustrating...
Now there is NO Dropbox icon in the tray, but I can see what looks like a version number when I run Task Manager and look at "Dropbox Properties".
It shows: Dropbox_195.3.4884.0_x64_xbfy0l16key96.
The problem is that the Dropbox install app from Microsoft installed a second version of my Dropbox and I need to know how to delete one of those without permanently deleting the files from the online version at the Dropbox site.
I downloaded the version that was current on the Microsoft store on March 5th.

2 years agoHi from me too, gmoorehn, and sorry to jump in.
To have a visual and help us troubleshoot this further, can you send over a couple of screenshots of what you see on your end? More specifically, I’d like a screenshot of the old Dropbox folder and the new one.
As for the Dropbox app not running, did you relaunch it on your computer, and the Dropbox icon still disappears?
