Chrome reporting dropbox as an incompatible application

"I merged your thread with this post" .... thank you but which post?! no links to any post .... 

:(

oh god! O_o

Ty.
Sorry @jay.
Thank you all.

I'll wait for Chrome 69 or Chrome 72 or .... I don't know which version .... or I will uninstall Dropbox from this PC.

Grunt.

I recently began getting an error message from Chrome indicating that dropbox is incompantible and wanting me to update the Dropbox program. When I attempt to update from the same error message screen- the only option is to uninstall.  I have looked for an update - but dropbox is supposedly "automatically updating".  I have tried the tips to identify what version of dropbox is running - but none have worked so I don't even know what version is currently operating and therefore whether it is up to date. I don't want to uninstall and reinstall for fear of losing files shared with others.

Hey there office11 - sorry to hear this.

As we've been getting such reports for a while now, I moved your post here to keep things neat. 

Take a look at what other users posted about this Chrome specific error and if there's anything further I can do from my end to help, please let me know.

In the meantime, have a lovely week ahead!

PS: You can always use another browser other than Chrome till there's a fix rolled out. I know it's not optimal yet I sure hope it helps to some extent.

Unfortunately that is not an option for me as this is my work computer and all our email is setup through google chrome - so it isn't an option not to be using Chrome on a daily basis.  Therefore the incompatability is a huge problem as it is making Chrome unstable.

Sorry about this office11 - have you updated your Chrome recently ?

I am actually updating mine to v.69 which should resolve this issue as my colleague Alexandra4 mentioned in the a previous reply (you'll find her post in the second page of this very thread). 

I am putting it here for your convenience. 

I know it's not optimal yet I sure hope this helps to some extent. 

my computer is set to do all updates automatically-so presumably it is already the most current version of Chrome.  I have been closing the error message and starting new tabs, but very soon the whole thing becomes unstable and closes. Very frustrating. I don't think that I want to be part of any beta testing group - I am not particularly tech-savy and am having enough problems with this as it is - I don't need extra problems from becoming a guinea pig for a software rollout.

I understand office11 - I'm also extra wary when it comes to software updates, especially betas which are experimental builds and can lead to all kind of deficiencies.
