Hey Luc-FJ, sorry to jump in, but I think Hannah was asking if the app was 'up to date' in your menu bar, or if it was still syncing etc.
If it's up to date indeed, could you try the following steps and let us know if they helped improve matters?
1. Click on the Dropbox icon from your Desktop and quit the application
2. Open your Activity Monitor from your Mac Utilities folder
3. Force quit out of the instances of the Dropbox application that are running by searching for "Dropbox" in the search bar, then clicking on the "x" force quit icon on the top left
4. Re-start Dropbox from the applications folder by double clicking on the Dropbox application
5. Click on the Apple icon in the top left of your screen
6. Click on "force quit"
7. Relaunch the finder.Keep us posted!

Hi,
I don't see any icons on the files from dropbox, besides the regular Finder UI elements like the folder icon off course.
I don't quite understand your question about the status and version, isn't it the number that I've already send you above?
Dropbox version: v145.4.4921
Status: Updated
MacOs version: 12.3 M1
Greetings!

Hi Walter!
Thanks for your reply! I've followed your steps (Dropbox App was indeed updated) and I saw a bunch of 'Integration with Dropbox Finder' processes. Tried it several times now, sadly no succes. Hopefully this will give you some insights!
Greetings,
Luc
