HI. I am not sure if this happened after an update - it may have. I have tried reinstalling the plugin and it confirms it has been installed. However when i open outlook and check addins there is no addin for Dropbox. 

When i try and save an attachment to dropbox, i get a login box appear that asks me to login to dropbox. I complete this and then the box that would normally show my dropbox folders does not populate and remains blank. 

I have checked my dropbox preferences and it is set to save to office. What else can i try?

Can you send me a screenshot of the Dropbox preferences you’ve checked, so that I can have a look? 

 

I’d also like one more screenshot of what you see here.

      Hey ab769585, thanks for the screenshots.

       

      If you try to do this from a different browser or a private browsing window, do you get the same behavior?
