Dropbox problem

szemi · Post by **szemi** » Fri Dec 12, 2014 1:15

This problem not always happens but randomly.

The following:

On the taskbar I can see the shortcut of Dropbox of course. But sometimes (like I said - randomly) I can see an empty blue box, so I can't see the green pipe or the blue loading "thing" (which means loading, updating) + I can't even see a speech bubble after Levellass (for example) updates something. (x files have been updated, etc.)

Help me, please!

If I restart or shut down the computer sometimes, dropbox works again, but sometimes I can see the empty blue box again.

Perhaps this problem will fix itself when Dropbox updates itself. If you hover your mouse/cursor over the dropbox icon, it should tell you what version you're running.
My dropbox icon used to be blue, but very recently it changed to white. My version is 3.0.3. I've been getting emails from dropbox tell me about a new version, but I didn't do anything about it, so I think it updated itself.

Huh, my dropbox is acting odd too. The icon is completely gone, but the dropbox daemon is running and it's up to date

Installed 3.0.3 and it now completely works, I can see the green and blue marks.

Daemon? Your computer is possessed! There's an evil spirit in its circuits!

This is a sign that you should go outside and get some exorcise.

Hur hur hur...

I've worked on computers that I'd swear were possessed though. I guess I'd better get that exorcise in.
In actuality it's probably some configuration file that's broken somewhere.
