    Thanks for the screenshot Marike P. - much appreciated.

     

    I can't tell if this is the latest stable version of the app or a previous build; could you ensure you're running the most recent one from this page?

     

    Also, what's your device's exact OS? Have you tried dragging your Dropbox Folder back to your Finder's favorites? If so, what were the results?

    Hi there Marike P., sorry to hear about this.


    If you've ensured that the Dropbox desktop app is running on your computer, can you please send us a screenshot of the app's exact status and version as shown in your menu bar?

     

    Thanks so much!
