Hi Jane - Thank you for your helping!! To answer your questions - 1 - I did not change the Smart Sync settings myself, but someone else on my team may have. I believe we all have admin status and none of us are very knowledgeable about the app and some of us click whatever pops up so there is unfortunantly no way to know what has been allowed or changed. =-( 2 - I opted out of system extensions trying to troubleshoot the issue. When I did that I stopped receiving the pop-up notice "New Files Will Start as Local. Your Team Admin Updated this Smart Sync Setting For Your Team." but the menu bar app still alternated between graying out & synching & disappearing. I am also seeing 2 grayed out icons in the menu bar at times. When I just turned the sytem extensions back on, the pop-up notices started again and the Dropbox icon in my menu bar is still alternating among disappearing all together, syncing and graying out. My battery is draining at an unusually high rate also. (I did not capture screenshots of the menu bar or pop-up before the menu bar icon disappearred, see below.) 3 - 78.4.119 is the version. ****Now a lot has changed ..... I received the below warning & the Dropbox menu bar icon disappeaed. I was not troubleshooting when this happened, I was composing this email. Has my entire issue been a syncing problem and it finally shut itsself down? I can send the detailed report shown in the link if needed. Thank you again for your help!
