Hi there nickpap - sorry to hear about this.

 

Could you send us a screenshot of the app's exact status and version of the desktop app as shown in your system tray?

 

Also, have you tried rebooting your computer or moving your files out of the Dropbox folder and back in again to see if that improves matters?

    Hi Walter.

    I just rebooted, no dif.

    I don't know what files are causing this issue. You mean to move all the files out of dropbox?

    But the issue is caused from some files out of the dropbox folder

      When you say out of the Dropbox folder, could it be that you're referring to files that you've backed up to Dropbox using the Dropbox backup feature perhaps nickpap ?

      Thanks for the clarification nickpap 

       

      Could you try updating to the latest version directly from this page and let me know if you notice any difference?
