Dropbox StaffHey JStak, I hope you're doing well!
Would you like to share some additional info with me, in order to get the full visual of what you're talking about?
I'd love to know when this first started, your device's OS and the version of the Dropbox app that you're using there.
If you have any other info to share, feel free.
Waiting for your updates!
This first began maybe a couple weeks ago. Files seemed to have disappeared from the app. I am operating Windows 11 and Dropbox v205.4.5765. Not sure if that is the correct information you're requesting.
From the Dropbox app taskbar when I right-click & ask to show the file in File Explorer it opens the file in the web browser, not in File Explorer.
Hope this helps
