Downloaded but no luck. Same Error msg again as above when I open Outlook. If you look at it again it says
icloud Archive.pst is not valid. Then this 2nd screen comes up where I choose Cancel and it lets me go about my day.
What does icloud Archive.pst mean and how do I fix it? I looked at my icloud account and there is no deleted Dropbox files or anything remotely like the error msg.

2 years agoWhen you say no luck, what do you mean exactly tripbargains? Is the installer not downloading or not running at all on your computer?
Since the error comes with the Dropbox desktop app uninstalled from your machine, it means that it's coming from another app or your computer's OS and not Dropbox.
Do you have any 3rd party apps running on your computer that could be causing this issue?

Hi Walter
When I say no luck I mean I get the exact same error msg I uploaded on the first post. Otherwise everything is working fine as soon as I enter Cancel on the 2nd pic as uploaded
above.
The error msg comes up regardless of Dropbox installed on my PC. Right now I downloaded and installed and error msg still came up which is why I said no luck!
I need to fix this "iCloud Archive.pst is not valid" issue and I don't know how
I am a senior and I simply have a PC for home use so I don't know what this 3rd party app is supposed to be. I don't believe there is any such app on my PC. I just use MS Office and Google.

Hey tripbargains, thanks for the screenshots.
I was able to find this, when I looked online. Can you try it and let me know if it helps?

Hi Hannah/Walter
I did not do anything else other than what I sent below earlier. All I did was open the Outlook data.pst file as I mentioned. After that I rebooted my system twice and the error msg is no longer appearing when I open Outlook! Thanks for all your help guys!
