Hey @Rikypg!

Are you still having trouble with this? 

If you are, can you please send me a screenshot of the error (omitting personal info) you see so as to have a better understanding of your concern?

Cheers! 

[Rikypg]

Dropbox didn't show any error. 

Finally, I restore windows 10 with the version before 1709 and everything works fine.

I hope with update 1803  I don't have the issue with starting of Dropbox.

I think the issue is into first screen configuration of Dropbox where the client asks the credential.

Thanks for letting me know what worked for you, @Rikypg. 

If you have any other questions or the issue reoccurs for you, don’t hesitate to get back to me. In the mean time, have a wonderful day!

Today my notebook upgrade windows 10 to 1803 and now Dropbox don't start.

I try to start it manually with no result.

I dont see errors into EventLogs

The folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Dropbox\CrashReports is empty

In attachment the log of dropbox.exe.log

[Rikypg]

is it possible to have support about the issue?

[Lusil]

Sorry to hear about that, @Rikypg.

As a first step, since I don’t see an attachment on your post, could you please send me a screenshot of what the Dropbox icon that’s next to your desktop’s clock reads when you hover over it. 

If you don’t see the Dropbox icon, are you able to locate the desktop app from your list of programs on your computer? 

Any additional info on this would be greatly appreciated. Cheers! 

[Rikypg]

I dont see any dropbox icon into system tray.

I see the dropbox folder into my computer

[Lusil]

Thanks for the additional info, @Rikypg. 

In this case, I’d kindly recommend giving a reinstallation a shot - it may do the trick. Please bear in mind that if you have a lot of files stored in Dropbox, you can use selective sync to select only certain folders to sync to your computer so as to improve the performance of your computer. 

Let me know how it goes!
