For a couple of weeks, Dropbox has had a a red (1) in the menu bar icon and an alert in the dropdown titled "Dropbox for macOS is now ready." Under that it says, "Update Dropbox to use it on the latest version of macOS. Get started." However, the app is updated to the latest version available for download, 162.4.5419 for Apple silicon on macOS 13.0.1. 

 

Am I reading this correctly? Is it telling me there's a new version of Dropbox to download? As that is how I am interpreting it, I've clicked "Get started" and followed the steps, but the message still appeared. Since that didn't change anything, I then uninstalled Dropbox and all settings I could find and reinstalled from a newly downloaded Dropbox installer. That didn't solve it either. Do you have other suggestions? 

 

Thanks for the help.

Hi grantbarrett, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Just for clarification, after reinstalling the Dropbox desktop application, are you still getting the notification in the menu bar?

 

This will help me to assist further!

    Yes, exactly: after reinstalling the Dropbox application I am still getting the notification. I have tried reinstalling both by following the "Get started" steps and by downloading a fresh installer from the Dropbox website.

      Hi grantbarrett, happy Monday! 

       

      It might sound trivial, but have you tried restarting your device, then starting all over once the device is up and running?

        have done everything.

        Don't give excuses.

        I think this issue is beyond your area of expertise.
