Dropbox StaffHey Joe Music, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Do you happen to have a security program or software that might be causing problems like an antivirus, a firewall or a VPN/proxy setting?

Keep us posted anyhow!
Hello Walter,
I have the same problem. No synching & no task bar icon, also running on Windows 11.
Unlike Joe, DB is set to auto start on start-up on my PC already.
Are you really suggesting that we disable any antivirus, firewall & VPN software just to be able to use DB?!

If Dropbox isnt showing at the top Marcus_VG then it even running - and so the firewall etc. isnt disabling as the software isnt open.
Thanks. I assume you mean 'it isn't even running'...
I seem to have got it running now....

"Are you really suggesting that we disable any antivirus, firewall & VPN software just to be able to use DB?!"
Seems ridiculous

No it should work happily without as long as those things are configured correctly. If they are not set up correctly then applications wont work.
