Dropbox not auto opening

[RobSantini]

MacPro bombed out and reinstalled.  Reinstalled Dropbox.  Preferences is set to open automatically on start up.

Does not do this  and every time have to go into app and open it up before it become resident on main bar.

System is MacOS High Sierra 10.13.5   (Problem-child)

Any fixes please

Which version of Dropbox is it Rob?

Hi there @RobSantini! Along with what @Mark mentioned, if you’re running the current stable version of the Dropbox desktop app (53.4.67), I'd kindly recommend having a look through this link to see steps on how to check if the Dropbox app is listed as one of your Startup items or add it to your Startup folder. Let us know what you find!

Thank you Lusil

It is in the Startup Folder now.

I deleted DropBox and re-downloaded and did fresh install.

Appears to be behaving

Thank you for your assistance

Hi, here is a thread talking about a similar issue. Maybe you can get some useful tips there. My suggestion is to uninstall Dropbox from your Mac first and reinstall the latest version to see if the problem could be solved. 🙂

Hi @htmortimer. 

Have you sent them a shared link or a shared file? Are they getting an error? More info on this would be much appreciated. 

Thanks in advance!
