    Microsoft support couldn't fix it either. I had to exit S-mode and download the full Dropbox. It seems the microsoft website is not quite telling the truth. Thanks for your input, Mark

Its because you are using the Dropbox App - that is a read only app.

You need to download and install the full client from www.dropbox.com/downloading. This will create your Dropbox folders etc.

      Thanks.

      Sorry for the late reply but yes, it's OK now.

      I can't remember what I did clearly but it's OK.

       

      With thanks,
