Dropbox stopped connecting on login. I've tried everything including an advanced reinstall.
Now with a fresh install, Dropbox won't let me sign into my account. I just get the spinner...
Hi there, @Tony B.5, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Which version of the Dropbox app are you currently using?
You can see that along with the sync status if you hover over the Dropbox icon in your menu bar.
Also, do you have any security apps that might be blocking the connection, like an antivirus, VPN etc.?
Let me know and we'll go from there.

Hi Hannah
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I'm in! Turns out it was my work proxy messing around with my connection.
All sorted now.
Thanks again
