Dropbox does not appear on tray box, does not start at start up, does not sync files - Windows 7
I have the latest version of Dropbox 3.2.6. Its been about 3 days that dropbox wont work on one of my systems running Windows 7. It was working and syncing fine a few days ago. Now I try to check it ...
I have been struggling with this as well. Finally resolved!!!!!!!!!!! I had given up all together. Today I plugged my phone into my cpu to transfer photos manually. When I got done a Dropbox window opened up asking me to sign in. Once I did, the computer started syncing, and I am back to working just fine!
Same problem. Right-clicking on Dropbox and Running as Administrator worked for me.
- Uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling with the Firewall turned OFF worked for me. Thnx!
A reinstall fixed it for me.
Hello everyone I am sorry for taking this long to reply. I was able to fix this problem myself and I completely forgot to post an answer. What worked for me was doing clean boots with no services for the exception of Microsoft services and through process of elimination I found out what start up service was causing dropbox not to properly start. In my case "Google Music Manger" was the culprit. I do not really know why but things went back to normal after stopping it and uninstalling it. I had to do the clean boot because after some time I began to notice that not only dropbox but other programs would not run even after I try running the applications myself. So yea, idk if that will help you guys but in case you are still trying to solve this problem check and see if this works for you. Maybe a different start up service does the job for some of you. I don't really know but at least I got mine back to work, not thanks to the mediocre support team from dropbox which never even tried contacting me or responding to this post.
Interesting for you to say that. Dropbox closed on me and kept showing me the finger right after I installed google drive.

Problem persists. Thanks for trying Jane. Doesn't fix it for me. I have enjoyed DB, my renewal is up in a couple weeks and I am going to find another service if this problem is not resolved by then. Shame, I really liked it when it worked.
