Start Dropbox on system startup
Does Dropbox have to be open in order to sync files when they're updated?? I don't have the option on my home PC to start Dropbox upon startup, so now I'm trying to find files I worked on at home her...

Hi all, just checking in to see if there are any updates. :upside_down:
A reinstall, sometimes even a reboot, can help resolve these types of issues.
Once you've carried this out, you can go ahead and ensure / re-apply the setting to have Dropbox launch automatically upon system startup.
denisefbatalha Let us know if this has worked for you and eliminated the issue you were experiencing with this matter. Thanks!

If you have saved the updated files inside the dropbox folder it will be automatically updated.
If you have saved it in a standard windows folder not.
Once you click on the desktop Dropbox folder the app also launches.
That is irrespective of whether you have set it up to start along the windows login process.
