Hi maher1982 

 

Thanks for the images, they really help.

Restart Dropbox on your machine and all should be good 🙂

      Hey maher1982, if the Dropbox icon is missing from your system tray, the Dropbox application won't be running at the moment.

       

      Can you simply reinstall the app (without uninstalling) through this link, to see if that helps?
