Apps and Installations
Have a question about a Dropbox app or installation? Reach out to the Dropbox Community and get solutions, help, and advice from members.
I've used Dropbox successfully on my MacBook Pro until recently, when I had problems and re-intalled the app. I've tried several times to reinstall it, but every time I get the message "No Internet Connection - Your computer is currently offline...". It's not offline at all.
I've tried searching for an answer to this problem, and tried some of the solutions, but none have helped. I haven't got a Dropbox icon appearing anywhere, either in the Dock or the Toolbar(?) at the top of the screen, so I can't delete proxies, as suggested elsewhere.
Please help - this is driving me nuts. I have important files I need to sync across computers, and I don't want to be pushed to iCloud!
Actually, DropBox was installed, but grayed out in the top taskbar. It was just stuck on 'connecting...', and I was able to open Settings > Preferences > Network, and change the Proxy Setting from 'Auto-detect' to 'No proxy'. Not sure how it had got set to Auto-detect, but changing it solved the problem and it's now working fine, thank you.

Hi , I really can't remember, and right now I'm in Far North Queensland, which is pretty remote, and just getting a bit of Wifi on my iPad is an achievement!
What at I did do was delete and completely reinstall the Dropbox app, but where I did the proxy thing I cannot recall. Maybe need a bit of trial and error? When I get back to civilisation and Mac territory, I'll try and find out and let you know.
Good luck!
Drove me nuts as well. Recently ungraded from Mac Air to MacBookPro with MacOS Sierra.
Soliution is to dissable the auto proxy setting in Dropbox preferences.
