    The problem was resolved for a time but it's back. I've been using my computer for the past hour and Dropbox is still "reconnecting to the internet." Had to restart Dropbox to get it working.

      Hey pcp812, sorry to hear about that! 

       

      Just wanted to check in with you and see if the behavior remains the same today.

       

      Keep me posted!

        Yup, it's continuing again. Seems whenever I wake my computer from sleep, Dropbox has the "reconnecting to the internet" problem.
