That's correct, that is the Dropbox desktop application, and you can change preferences and so on from within the app.

Hey Akshat_, sorry to see you're having trouble with this.
Do you have a small Dropbox icon in your system tray?
If you do, please hover over it and let me know what you see.

Hi, I have the same issue (Dropbox not starting) (I'm on Windows 11) - I've done all the checks described here including uninstalling and reinstalling Dropbox 4 times. In my case, after installing dropbox, I never even get to the point that it asks me to sign in. It just blanks on me and does not appear either in the tray (in the task manager, dropbox does appear on the list but when I right click on the icon to see the properties it says DropboxCrashHandler).
Any tips ?
Thanks !

Hey there Estelle Cantillon - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Do you happen to be running any 3rd party apps or antivirus, firewalls or VPN/proxy settings by any chance?
If so, you can try temporarily disabling them and try re-installing the app using the offline installer from this page directly.
Let us know of any updates!
