    Hey SamuelMelle, sorry to hear about this.

     

    Could you download and install the latest, stable version of the desktop app from this page and let me know how it goes?

So the problem did come back. I uninstalled Dropbox and installed the version you linked me. It did not fix the problem.

Hi SamuelMelle! I hope you’re doing well. 

 

Just to clarify, does this issue occur every time you restart your device? Also, do you keep receiving the same "Dropbox has unexpectedly quit” error, even now? 

 

Can you please check all the info provided here, and let me know if any of it seems to help?

    Hi, right now it seems to work again after installing the version provided by you. It stopped crashing and it starts and syncs normally. Thank you very much! 

    I will mark this post as solved until the error comes back. If that happened I will reply to your last comment. Thank you in advance and I hope the error won't come back again!

    Have a wonderful weekend ahead.
