Hi @Andym2009, thanks for messaging the Community!

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?

Keep me updated with any progress!

Just fighting a couple of other fires - will try this at some point soon.

Thanks

A.
