    Hi all, thanks for the reports!

     

    I just wanted to mention that this should be resolved now, but please let us know if you're still having issues with this after rebooting your computer and/or restarting the desktop app.

     

    Cheers!

Appears I was just updated to this on a test system and am now getting a notification that "Your admin has disabled Smart Sync" and "Smart Sync not enabled" in the Dropbox menubar item, which is most certainly not the case. I am the admin of our Business Advanced team and all the Settings for the team indicate that Smart Sync is on as expected.

Edit: The "Smart Sync disabled" issue may be broader than just this release, looking into it with support……
