Hi @fpulley, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Is the Dropbox desktop application running and syncing on your computer? 

 

What is the current status of the app when you click the icon on the system tray/menu bar, in the message on the bottom left?

 

This will help me to assist further!

It doesn't do anything, I have made sure that I am actually signed into Dropbox.

It should do something.... it should display text saying something like 

 

Dropbox 183.3.6667

Up to date

 

(Thats what mine is showing now). 

 

If its not doing ANYTHING it sounds like its crashed so try a reboot and/or reinstall from www.dropbox.com/downloading

Hi @fpulley, sorry to jump in here! 

 

Have you made sure you're looking at the correct little Dropbox icon, on your task or menu bar, next to your WiFi? It should look something like this:
