Can't start newly installed Dropbox - MacBook Air running Sonoma -

Hi markmonas66, thanks for providing these details!

 

If you're not on a Dropbox Basic plan with more than 3 devices connected, could you try an advanced reinstall of the app using the steps in this link?

 

Let me know how it goes!

Hi Jay

I have Dropbox for iOS on file manager and it didn’t sync so I have had to uninstall a few time and now it’s not starting at all. The error is:
