You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Dropbox App won't open, the only thing that opens is my Dropbox Folder.
Dropbox app will not open. When I open the app it just opens the file explorer. I have already checked the Taskbar and it's not showing up there. I have also checked the taskbar setting and there is ...
you can try run again!
Re-running to application just opens up the file explorer. I can't get to the main Dropbox App.

Hey Preston J., thanks for reaching out to our Community.
Are you perhaps looking to launch the Dropbox application interface that used to be available, that looked kind of like the website?
Because that was deprecated a while ago. Now, you can only access your Dropbox files through the Dropbox folder in your file explorer.
However, if the Dropbox icon in your system tray does not appear at all, perhaps the app is not really running.
Have you tried reinstalling it, to see if that helps?

Lately the system tray icon has been disappearing while Dropbox is still running. The only way I've found to bring the icon back is to end task on all the Dropbox processes and then launch the application again. As Preston J. noted above, trying to launch it while the icon is gone and the processes still running simply opens the Dropbox folder, and doesn't restore the icon to the system tray.
