Thanks for your reply Jay --

I'm running version 208.4.5824

The location of the dropbox folder is Users --> RVW --> Dropbox Folder

Let me know what you think, Ryan

Are there any files attempting to sync down to your computer through the Dropbox desktop application? 

 

What message you you see when you click the Dropbox icon in the menu bar?

    Hi,

    The folder has the blue sync icon next to it but I can't see files attempting to sync and there has been no change in the folder for over an hour.

     

    When i click the Dropbox icon in the menu bar, I am shown my activity in the past 7 days and my team's activity. However, the details of the activity may be incorrect (though I cannot say for certain).

        Hi,

        Thanks, I don't have firewalls or network restrictions.

        I haven't had an error message about low disc space.

        I don't have a hardware issue or disk error.

        Anything else you can advise or is there a part I'm missing? Thanks, R
