Fix for Dropbox not running after client update

I got tired of my Dropbox client killing itself and not re-launching while it upgrades the client so I made these two scripts to fix the problem. The first script checks if Dropbox is running and starts the client if it is not. The second script launches the first script without the powershell window popup.

1. Start-Dropbox.ps1

# Start-Dropbox.ps1 begins
If ( -not (Get-Process -Name Dropbox -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue)) {
& "${env:ProgramFiles(x86)}\Dropbox\Client\Dropbox.exe"
}
# Start-Dropbox.ps1 ends

2. Start-Dropbox-launcher.vbs

' Start-Dropbox-launcher.vbs begins
Dim shell,command Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") windowsdir = shell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%windir%") programdir = shell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%programfiles%") Dim ScriptPath ScriptPath = Left(WScript.ScriptFullName, Len(WScript.ScriptFullName) - Len(WScript.ScriptName)) command =("""" & windowsdir & "\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe""" & " -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoLogo -NonInteractive -NoProfile -WindowStyle Hidden -File " & """" & ScriptPath & "\Start-Dropbox.ps1""") shell.Run command,0
' Start-Dropbox-launcher.vbs ends

Create a scheduled task that runs "C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe Start-Dropbox-launcher.vbs"
Set the work folder the wherever the scripts are located.

I chose to run the script once an hour with 10 min random delay.

Problem solved, yay! :)
