Hi ECB
Have you made sure Dropbox is running?
Restart it from the Windows menu or reinstall from www.dropbox.com/downloading.

There actually is no sync status anymore. And it's also not appearing anymore in my taskbar.
If you don't see the Dropbox icon in your system tray then that would mean that Dropbox isn't running, which is why your files aren't syncing. You may just need to launch Dropbox from your Start Menu and give it some time to index your files and sync. If that doesn't work, then an uninstall/reinstall would be suggested.
