Hey ab769585, thanks for your post. 

 

To make sure I got it right, you had installed the Dropbox for Outlook plugin, and it got randomly removed from your Outlook email? Did this occur after any kind of update perhaps?

 

What do you see when trying to install it again? 

 

Finally, are you part of a Dropbox team by any chance? I’m asking in case your admin has restricted third-party integrations, which would also prevent you from using this plugin. You can find more details here.

 

Let me know what you find.

Thanks for checking, ab769585.

 

Can you let us know if you're also part of a Dropbox team and if it's possible that the team admin has restricted third-party integrations, like Nancy suggested?

 

If not, can you confirm that you have all the necessary system requirements, found here?

    HI I have been informed that third-party integrations has NOT been restricted.
