Hey @"tomikobako", sorry to jump in here! It sounds like this was caused by uninstalling the Dropbox app without disabling the computer backup feature on your Dropbox app. Now that you reinstalled Dropbox, if you go through the steps to enable backup, what do you see? is it prompting you to set things up from scratch?

Hey @"oneofthethree", just to confirm, does syncing work properly? Meaning, if you add a test file to your Dropbox folder, does it sync to your account online?

Thanks for the screenshot and all the info provided, @"coonrodc". Allow me to jump in here as well and suggest that you use selective sync, to reduce the number of files in your Dropbox folder, so that we can see if it helps with your syncing being stuck. And let us know what you find.

Hey @"EatSteve", thanks for letting us know! The "em-s.dropbox.com" domain is one of our official domains, so this isn't a scam, however, can you double-check the email address this email was sent to? Is it possible that you received this on a different address than the one linked to your paid account?

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, @"jcyc1". Can we send you an email, so we can look further into this?

Hey @"DerekR", sorry to hear about this. I just sent you an email, so we can investigate in private. Thanks!

Hey @"geeveff3", sorry to hear about this. If you open the Dropbox app on your new phone, are you able to see your photos in the camera uploads folder? And if you are, can you double-check that you're signed in to the same Dropbox account both on the mobile app and the desktop app? Let me know what you find.

Hey @"joolsbond", sorry to see you're having this issue. Can you try again both from a different browser and a different network/WiFi connection to see if that helps? Keep me posted!

Sorry to hear about this, @"Ambearloveschu ". Can you send us the ticket number for your communication with our support team, so we can check it out?

Hey @"Cat Ogden", thanks for reaching out to our Community and let's see what we can find out about this. Can you hover over the Dropbox icon in your system tray/menu bar to check the sync status and version of the Dropbox app? Do you see any error messages there?

If you go to your Play Store, and search "Dropbox", you will see if there's an update button there. The latest version is currently 336.2.2.

Thanks for the update, @"Roulan"! Can you give us a couple of example file names that are not syncing? Do they contain any of the characters here?

Thanks for the additional info here, @"sstructural1". Did the notification stop for the file you deleted online? And can you let me know what the version and sync status of the Dropbox app is currently? You can hover over your Dropbox icon to see this info. Also, are you on a Mac or Windows computer?

Hey @"Jo93", are you still getting the "couldn't start Dropbox" pop-up error message? If so, can you click the blue hyperlink to get to the error log and send us a copy, like Megan asked in her reply above?

Hey @"tu3", sorry you're having issues with your Dropbox. Can you give us some more info about the issue you're having? Is it with the Dropbox Paper app? Any additional details will be helpful. Thanks!

Sorry to see you're having this issue, @"ijmolder66" and @"rajma420". Can you please make sure that your Dropbox app is updated to the latest version and let me know if the issue persists?

Hey @"emman12", sorry to see you're having this issue. Can you take a look at this thread, to see if you can find any helpful info?

Hey @"ljwaisman", have you searched your email accounts for emails from Dropbox regarding your account getting closed?

Thanks for the additional info here, @"JEToronto". This might have to do with the fact that it's an upload, especially if it's just one single file. Do you notice the same behavior with entire folders of smaller files?

Hey @"Roulan", thanks for letting us know about this. Can you check the sync status and version of the Dropbox app on the laptop? You can hover over the Dropbox icon to see this info. Also, if you check the account on dropbox.com, do you see the files there?

Hey @"sstructural1", thanks for bringing this to our attention. Strange issue indeed, but let's see what we can find out about it. Have you restarted your computer ever since these notifications started appearing? Where did you originally delete these files from? Your Dropbox folder? And do the notifications pop up out of…

Hey @"JEToronto"! Indeed, phone support is not available to Dropbox Business trial accounts. Is there something you'd like assistance with?

Hey @"Julie R.19", thanks for the nudge here, but can you please clarify what it is you'd like info about exactly? Are you trying to submit feedback/complaints about something or are you trying to find something like our terms of service?

Hey @"sts0111", sorry to see you're having this issue. Is it possible to grab a screenshot of this message and attach it to your next reply here?

Thanks for the update, John. So if you navigate to the file requests page, click on the respective request and then on "view uploads" nothing is showing up there?

Hey @"missie1208", thanks for reaching out to us. It sounds like you're probably signed into a free account and not your paid one. You can use our lookup tool here to find out the email address of the paid account. Once you sign in, you should be able to cancel it yourself, or contact our support team. I hope this helps.

Hey everyone and thanks for contributing to this thread. We are aware of this error and our teams are looking into it. We will follow back with an update, however, we have no specific timeline for now. Thanks.

Hey @"Charjohn44", thanks for joining our Community. Do you know if your recipients have actually uploaded the files to the requests? Did you receive the automated upload confirmation emails? If you open one of the links from a private browsing window and upload a test file yourself, is it coming through? Let me know what…

Thanks for the screenshots, @"anram", they're really helpful! Can you let us know what the sync status and version of the Dropbox app on your computer is? You can hover over your Dropbox icon, to see this info.

Hey @"Amy Hager", thanks for bringing this to our attention. Are you using our website to upload your files or our desktop app? If it's the website, can you try from a different browser or a private browsing window, to see if you get a different behavior? Let me know how it goes!
