    Jay Hi Jay. I've resolved the issue with Dropbox Support - thank you. They tell me I'd been banned for some reason. All sorted now, thanks.

Hey Gr8sons, thanks for letting us know about this.

 

Can you check which version of the Dropbox application you're using and what's the sync status?

 

You can hover over the Dropbox icon in your menu bar, to see this info.

 

Let me know and we'll go from there.

Dropbox v167.4.4719

Sync status is Up to Date. However it warns me that it can't sync the Public folder, which has nothing in it.

    Thanks for the update here!

     

    If you close the Dropbox app and then relaunch it from your applications folder, does that help at all?

     

    Also, please make sure you restart your computer as well, if you haven't done so already.

      I've tried both of those steps multiple times. This has been an issue since about Thanksgiving, BTW.

      I've even worked thru the delete and reinstall process as outlined in the Help Center. No joy.

        I've now discovered that *none* of the right-click menu options work, including the Open on Dropbox.com. I deleted and re-install of the app. Still no joy.
