There's a red indicator on the Dropbox icon in the system tray, what is this?
Hello --- it looks like there is a number one (1) in a red dot on the dropbox icon in the system tray -- what is this and what does it mean? Thanks

Dropbox StaffHey mh1106, thanks for letting us know what did the trick for you - awesome work with the troubleshooting!

In the meantime, I hope you have a lovely day ahead!
Dang, I thought that might take care of it, but no. The red dot is still there.
I'm having the same issue as cindy t.3, system tray icon has a red dot on the lower left side with no number in the dot. The only way I can open the App is ctrl-left mouse click, double click just opens the local Dropbox folder. I have reinstalled twice now, once with the advanced reinstall instructions from https://help.dropbox.com/installs-integrations/desktop/advanced-reinstall. I could open a ticket, but it would be the same as the one already open by cindy t.3. I'll just keep limping along for now with the ctrl-left mouse click workaround. One good note is that all the files/folders are syncing. I'm running v104.4.175 on Windows 10. My account is Dropbox Business Standard with 5 TB of storage.
Hey, I'm having the same issue here. Upgraded to the new app (now running 104.4.175) and my system tray icon has the red square with no number on it (https://imgur.com/3k0hzX4 ), and the tray icon does not respond at all to single right-click or single left-click. If I double-click it opens the app.
