How to change my app data on new MacBook pro

Please help me get the Dropbox app on my new MacBook Pro. I have tried downloading the installer a dozen times with the same error message each time. The Dropbox app data user path is wrong (from my old iMac), and I don't know how to change it to my new computer user name in the app.

What about, to open a terminal window, after that copy the command line, I posted above as is, next paste it into the terminal window and finally press Enter key? 🧐🙂 Is it working now?

Hi @VictoriaAlger,

Execute following command in a terminal:

rm -rf ~/.dropbox

Is the application now running normally after sign in? 😉

Hope this helps.

I will try your solution but I’m a bit tense about how to do it.

Thank you for your solution to my issue. I was able to successfully download the Dropbox app to my MacBook Pro and log in.

It worked!!!
