I keep seeing a red exclamation flag on the Dropbox icon.

Why do I always see a red exclamation point on my Dropbox icon, but when I go online, there's no red icon, and no problems flagged? It's very annoying.

    The red icon doesnt replicate online or to other devices. So it only shows on the device having an issue.

     

    If you go to the app and click on the icon and then click on your little name/image/letters at top right you can see a menu saying 'Sync Issues'. Have you checked that?

        Hey Robert T.30, can you click on the Dropbox icon again and send me a screenshot of the window you see next? I’d like to have a visual and see what we can try from there.
