My Dropbox account isn't syncing to my computer any more

My Dropbox account isn't syncing to my computer any more

I bought a new iPhone (15 pro) lately but DropBox stopped synchronizing with my computer.
I logged out from computer DropBox and logged in again. Then it started syncing again but stopped once I restarted computer.
I uninstalled DropBox and installed again. Started syncing again but stopped once I restarted the computer. Keep doing the same thing many times but stops syncing once I turned off my computer.
What am I doing wrong?

Is the Dropbox application starting when you sign back in to your computer? If Dropbox isn't running, it can't sync. Restart your computer, sign in, then look for the Dropbox icon in your system tray (Windows) or menu bar (Mac).

If you don't see that icon in your system tray or menu bar, then Dropbox isn't running and won't sync. Try to launch the application.

It worked!! Somehow I unchecked DropBox on the starting app and it was the reason. Just checked again and restart the computer but it worked!
Thank you so much!!
