I get this annoying message every time I boot up my Mac: "dropbox needs to change permissions for the folder: Users/......" How do I stop it? I have read and write permissions for the folder and am the only user on this Mac.

My desktop app has been stuck indexing for well over 24 hours at this point. It states that it is Indexing 1 File, Syncing 56 files, and Downloading 106 files.

Hi all, Since 11th December 2018, my Dropbox application on my mac has syncing issues. The status on my Dropbox application would either say "Starting" and "Checking for changes" when I restarted it.

Mac. I just used markup to modify a file that's on DB, and now I'd like to revert back to before the markup. I've gone to the "Version history" screen, but I can't figure out how to restore the previous version. There's no button or link to press on the previous version(s). See screenshot.

Hello, I used to run Debian 9.x with Kernel 5.1.x with GNOME desktop and Dropbox GUI installed from the Dropbox website (deb file).

I hope I'm asking in the right place. Did Dropbox do away with the "Enable Finder Integration" option? When it's *disabled* the image dimensions are displayed in the Finder with my pictures rather than "up to date"... That's what I want, to disable it. I don't want the big green check mark. I can't find the "Enable Finder…
