Hello Megan,

Here you find an screenshot of the message. Notice that the daemon is already running in the task bar. It asks me to install Dropbox each time I start my computer even if I check the option 'Don't show this again' pressing 'ok' and waiting for the installation, pressing 'ok' and cancelling the installation or pressing 'Cancel'.

I have the verision v223.4.4909

    Hey FranciscoLagos, thanks for the screenshot!

    Since you've already tried an advanced reinstall, I think we might need to escalate your case to our specialized agents.

    However, I'd need to send you an email in order to do so, would you be okay with that?
