Upgrading Database

My Dropbox app has been 'Upgrading Database...' for a number of hours today with the result that my colleagues can't see or access new files that I have worked on today because my sync is not up-to-date.

 

Could this be stuck or will it eventually upgrade?

 

Any advice appreciated!

    Hi there GarryWP, sorry to hear about this.

     

    Can you please let us know if you tried rebooting since you first noticed this?

     

    If you did and this persists, can you send us a screenshot so that we can have a  look too?

     

    Thanks so much!

      Hi Walter,

       

      yes have rebooted and the same message appears. One of my colleagues who logged on at the same time as me this morning had the same message but it only lasted about 2 hours. Screen shot attached.
