In that case, you'd need to contact the team again via email, as they have more account and device-specific information they can access to assist further.

Hi rmundell, thanks for the info. I'd recommend contacting the support team directly for them to assist further on this matter.

the reason I came to the community, which is the third option on the support list, is because clicking on the live chat option appears to do nothing. I am able to go to live chats on other sites, so I dont think it relates to browser settings on this computer.

If you're on a paid plan and have signed into your account, you should be able to contact the team via email. Are you not seeing that option?

Yes I have worked through the solution that was offered by email (Twice). At first it appeared to work, and began to re-index everything, but the next time I logged in to the computer Dropbox unexpectedly quit again, with the same message.
