I am experiencing the same situation on an M1 Mac running Ventura that I attempted to update yesterday. I get the prompt to update, the update seems to go fine, and then I get an alert and prompt to update all over again. The Dropbox files are clearly not moved from their previous location. Restarts and removing/adding the Dropbox client do not change the outcome.
Assuming this gets resolved, where would guidance normally be posted?

OK, so not 5 minutes after I sent the previous post, I gave it one more try and the update properly kicked in. The only thing that changed on my platform was that I activated my OneDrive client earlier today just to make sure it was working properly on my desktop and remote devices. It's certainly a long shot but perhaps something shook loose since both Dropbox and OneDrive seem to embrace a similar approach to cloud based storage on the Mac (and I know that this change has been "guided" by Apple).
In other words, false alarm (I think). I guess you guys are really on the ball...

Having this same problem on an Intel Mac with Ventura 13.1. Notification of an update persists no matter how many times the installation process is completed.

In this case, do you mind if I open a ticket for you instead? This way, we can look into this further.

Hey CiaoPunto & leonchu886, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Can you please confirm that you've granted Dropbox full disk access as outlined here and that you've already rebooted your computer?
- leonchu8863 years agoExplorer | Level 3
Hi Walter,
Yes, I've turned on Full Disk Access and reboot. Still keeps coming back.
What does it need Full Disk Access btw?Leon
