Dropbox application suddenly not working with Windows 11
Yesterday, I noticed that Dropbox was no longer connected on my laptop running Windows 11. There is no system tray icon for Dropbox, and clicking on the start menu app icon does nothing at all; same...
I found the solution by logging out of my Windows 11 user account and downloading Dropbox while logged in on the Visitor account. I switched back to my user account and was able to open the Dropbox app and link my account. Very strange.
Thank you, Hannah. I will try it when I get home tonight and report back 😊

Dropbox StaffNot a problem, sounds good!
Let us know how it goes!
The offline installer didn't work. Same problem as with the other installation. I click on the Dropbox icon and nothing, and no Dropbox folder visible in the file explorer.

Hey PDub81, sorry to jump in here!
Can you try an advanced re-install on your end, and let me know how it goes?
I followed these steps and it doesn't work. Clicking the Dropbox icon does nothing, still no system tray icon either.

Happy to see that you managed to resolve this, PDub81!

See you around the Community and have a great weekend!
Unfortunately this problem has occurred again. I need suggestions for a permanent solution. I don't want to be stuck reinstalling every few weeks.
