Hello Dee C.6 - welcome to the Community!

At first, could you send me a screenshot of where exactly this discrepancy is spotted so I can have a visual too?

Also, can you please clarify the OS of the device you're on and if you've made sure that it's updated and rebooted recently?

Thanks in advance!

thanks for the quick reply.  Dropbox is on my personal laptop PC only, it is running Windows 7.  No other devices connected to it though sometimes pics from my camera automatically get copied into some folder on DropBox.

Since I have had this prob, I notice that when I looked in my folder where I put files I want to share with friends, there was always a small status icon.  Green showing it has been uploaded etc.  As you can see from the 2nd pic this no longer shows.

Thanks for the help, really appreciated.

      Thank you too for the quick response Dee C.6 - it's most appreciated!

      So you have the desktop app running and somehow enabled the automatic camera uploads feature at some point (which you can verify by checking if the photos you mentioned are located within a folder called 'Camera Uploads') and while you were able to see status icons on your files within the Dropbox Folder in the past you're not seeing them now; am I correct? 

      If that's the case, could you send me the desktop app's exact status at the moment as shown within your system tray and attach your screenshots using the buttons shown below?

      Thanks so much!

        Walter, I am not interested in uploading pics to DB.  But I am trying to get rid of all the corruptdb in the Windows Task Manager.   I notice "sometimes" I see the status icons on my ONE folder which I share with friends & put in various files.  Then like magic the status icon disappears.  Give me sometime to figure out how to find the desktop apps exact status.
