I keep seeing a red exclamation flag on the Dropbox icon.

Why do I always see a red exclamation point on my Dropbox icon, but when I go online, there's no red icon, and no problems flagged? It's very annoying.

    Did you try my suggestion, Robert?

     

    Let me know if it doesn't work.

    I've done all of this, including reinstalling twice. Is there anything that can be done to get rid of it??

    Hey Robert T.30!

     

    Would you mind clarifying what you're referring to? I switched our communication to email, in order for us to have a closer look into this. 

     

    Or, we might potentially need to escalate your case to our specialized team.

    Would you mind escalating this? It would probably be more efficient.

    You'd need to reply back to the email with the info I asked, and I'll take it from there Robert T.30
