Can't open the Dropbox app after the user folder name changed

Hey alizahir, thanks for reaching out to us.

At the bottom of the error message window, there is a link to a .txt file with a full log of the error.

Can you copy the error log in your next reply or send us a screenshot, so we can take a closer look?

Thanks!
