Dropbox is not running

Dropbox is set up on this computer but is not running, so new files in your Dropbox folder are not being uploaded.

You'll see this whenSavedSafe says Dropbox is "Not running".

Steps

  1. Click the Start button, type Dropbox, and open it.
  2. Sign in if it asks you to.
  3. Look for the Dropbox icon near the clock and make sure it does not show a warning.
  4. Run SavedSafe again to make sure the problem is fixed.

Good to know

  • Only files inside your Dropbox folder are protected. Files elsewhere need OneDrive or File History.
Done? Run SavedSafe again. When everything is protected, the report turns green.
