Hi Steve-S,

 

I hope you're doing well today!

 

I just wanted to let you know that our engineers are fully aware of this issue and they are currently working on a solution for you. 

 

In the meantime, would you be able to tell me if your main.log file is located at %appdata%/../Local/Packages/dropboxcapture  or %appdata%\Roaming\Dropbox-Capture\logs? This will help with the work our engineers are doing.

 

Thanks!

Graham

    Hi Graham,

     

    thanks for the reply.
    I did a search (with Everything) for "main.log" and the only Dropbox related entry was this:

    C:\Users\<myusername>\AppData\Local\Packages\DropboxInc.49937EE97073A_xbfy0k16fey96\LocalCache\Roaming\Dropbox-Capture\logs\main.log

    I did start Dropbox Capture manually.

    Hope that helps in a way - or feel free to ask for any info that might be useful.
