Drop box is stuck at "Starting..." but files are being synced
The box icon on system tray stays at gray and says "Starting...". But, when files are changed on another computer, they are being synced. Should I be concerned? Is there a fix? Thanks.

Hi again to all,
This should be resolved now. Please restart your Dropbox desktop or mobile app and try again.
Let us know if you are still receiving an errors or you're experiencing anything out of the ordinary & we can look further into it.
Thanks to everyone for your reports & happy Dropboxing ahead!

In my case I can normally open, edit or move files and it doesn't appear anything related to space... (I am 50% full). It's more like a problem with the task bar logo/icon.

We are having the same issues. I am not getting any response from anyone from dropbox. I pay monthly for this service and no response for over 4 hours is not okay. We are sitting ducks until this is resolved. I am able to use dropbox on my desktop, but not on any mobile devices. We pay for 1TB of data and have used 131GB. Please help.
