Really appreciate the new Sync and Storage Dashboard
Before I saw the announcement, I stumbled upon the Sync & Storage Dashboard while reviewing some updates in my Dropbox on my laptop. I like the clear visibility into the current storage on my device,...
I unfortunately have not stumbled across this Dashboard yet. My laptop is currently failing to sync (though other devices are syncing). According to the Help I should do the following
- Open the Dropbox folder in File Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac).
- Locate the file or folder you’d like to sync.
- Right-click the file or folder.
- Click Sync next under Quick Actions.
However when I right click on a file in my Dropbox folder I dont see a menu item called Quick Actions
In other news, many items of advice suggest that the problem may be that Dropbox is not running. On my laptop it is supposed to start on Startup. I see no other way of checking if it is or is not running.
Any ideas?
i have worked it out, the problem was that windows shows a drop box icon in the start menu which does not actually open the app, it just takes you to file explorer, you have to actively search for it to get the app open and running
