Hei there,

My Dropbox is not synching anymore and also i can't find it in the windows search, but it shows up as a programme.

If i want to install newest version it says it's not available.

I’m sorry to hear about this issue, @michihf

 

If I get this right, the small Dropbox icon doesn’t show in your system tray at the bottom, correct? 

 

Can you please send over a screenshot of what you see when trying to remove the Dropbox app from your computer? 

 

That’ll help me assist you further.

Hi @michihf, does installing the new app directly help with this matter?

If you're not on a Dropbox Basic plan with more than 3 devices connected, could you try an advanced reinstall of the app using the steps in this link?
