        The probablem has probably occurred since upgrade to Windows 10 Creator Edition (1703) or the cumulative update to it.

    We’ve identified an issue that is preventing the latest version (v31) of the Dropbox desktop application from starting on certain Windows computers.
     
    We’re working on a fix which will be deployed in a new version of the application soon.
     
    When we release this new version it should install automatically on affected computers. However, you may need to restart Dropbox after the update.
     
    We’ll update this thread again with further details once the issue is fully resolved.

        Still not working, even with .25, after update, then remove/reinstall and reboot!

         

        Error log shows "Failed to connect to the driver: (-2147024894) The system cannot find the file specified. , retrying..."

      Does this encompass the recently uncovered problem whereby auto-play upload of photos/movies from iDevices no  longer works?

       

      Save fault on three different machines!
