Hi everyone!
Just letting you know that this bug was fixed. So sorry about it again. You can download and install the app from https://www.dropbox.com/capture and it should show up properly on the tray!
Thank you for your patience 🙏🏽

Hi Alex_P, I'd be happy to help!
Have you tried uninstalling the re-installing the app by any chance? If not, can you give this one a go?
If you could also let me know the OS version that you have installed on your Mac, that'd be amazing.
Keep me posted!

Hi Megan,
Thank you for writing back.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, to no result. I have MacOS Monterey 12.5 installed.
Let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to try.
Cheers!

I have the exact same issue. Tried uninstall and reinstall. Also MacOS Monterey 12.5. I was never prompted to sign in to my dropbox account. When I clicked on the app, it didn't do anything. However, it must be open because it won't let me remove it. I had to restart the computer in order to remove it and reinstall it. It still won't work.

Hey guys, happy Friday to both of you!
Can you try connecting to a different WiFi or using cellular data, is possible?
Also, do you have any antivirus / security settings installed on your machine, by any chance? If you do, can you try disabling them temporarily, see if it does the trick?

My Dropbox Capture has stopped working. I tried reinstalling it, and can't because it is apparently open. It is NOT open. I can't delete it either. It seems to be blocking my default Mac recording option, and I can't record anything. Need to resolve this urgently. My OS is VEnture 13.4

Sorry to hear about this, MichelleH2702.
Can you send over a screenshot of what you see exactly on your Mac computer, when trying to open/delete the app?
