Dropbox StaffHi billieraven, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Could you try reinstalling the Dropbox desktop application, without uninstalling it first, by using this link?
What is the exact version of Windows OS that you're running on your machine?
Keep me updated with any details!
I installed from your link but unfortunately now I can't tell if there is a new installation of dropbox as the only thing showing is the taskbar and system tray icon which might the the old that i already had there. Should I uninstall and try again?
THANK YOU

Is it possible the Dropbox icon is being hidden in the Windows 10 system tray? You can check by using these steps and to unhide the Dropbox icon permanently.
Not hidden, not there BUT
When I choose which icons should show on the taskbar Dropbox is checked on
plus when I restart my computer I am back where I started with no dropbox icon in system tray, and if I put a file in the dropbox shortcut on my desktop it does not sync with iphone, then if, like before I manually send dropbox to my taskbar, and click on it, then everything syncs.
I think I have a sick computer ...
