    How long have you given it? 

    What does it say if you mouse over the Dropbox icon?

        Hi Jled81, thanks for messaging the Community!

         

        Restoring from a computer backup can take time depending on the number of files in the backup.

         

        I'd recommend giving some more time for the backup to continue.

         

        Keep me posted!
