How do I quit the Dropbox app?

Issue: What happened to the button that allowed us to quit Dropbox? The button was definitely there in Dec 2025, but now it's gone. I need it because I'm working with large files that can only reliably sync over my work/home wifi network.

Device: Desktop & Laptop
Operating System: Windows 10/11
Dropbox App Version/Browser Version: Latest as of 9 January 2026

Hi there, @CipE, welcome to our Community!

Let's see what we can find about this together.

Have you tried following these steps specifically in order to quit the desktop app? If this is what you're doing but the option is missing, would you mind sending me a screenshot of the options you see there?

Keep in mind that you can always pause the syncing process, and resume when you're ready to sync your files.

I'll be waiting for your updates!

Yes, I see the Quit button after clicking my avatar in the bottom-left corner! 😅

Thank you very much @Megan for your kind directions!
