My Dropbox seems to be only listed under apps. I can't find it in any other folder including iCloud.

This is what my dropbox looks like:

I thought it had migrated to my iCloud but it is not there now.

 

I'm using 7.67 gb out of 10 currently, sharing on 3 devices (laptop, iPhone, iPad)

    Hey bb-black - sorry to jump in here, but I just wanted to mention that the desktop app on your computer seems to be paused.

     

    You can try resuming sync and if that doesn't help, you can also install the latest version of the app from this page.

      Thanks Walter, but this hasn't helped so far. I've paused and unpaused and nothing changes. I've also downloaded an updated app, but I will try that again today.
