I’ve logged a ticket for you instead, so that we can look into this further. 

 

Please reply back to me, when you’ve got some free time.

    Didn't see a way to open a ticket myself, so thanks for doing that. I'm seeing this on two different Macs using the same account.

      Hey David F.61, my colleague Nancy has actually reached out via email to a different user.

       

      Can you check Megan's reply to you here and get back to us with the info she requested?

      I did restart and I still see the red warning and the request to update. Here's a screen grab.

        I have had the warning sign (with the number 2!) in the Finder menu and the text “Dropbox for macOS is now ready”. However, Dropbox still seems to be working fine now, without the ugrade. What happens if i keep it as it is now, not updated? Why fix it if it ain’t broke?

        One reason I am concerned about the upgrade is that I may not need it because I have NO online only files, all my files backed up to Dropbox are also on my computer, OFFLINE.

        Another reason I am concerned about the upgrade is that most of my hardware is older.

        My setup:
        Dropbox version 165.4.4300, folder still in the old location
        MacBook Pro Early 2015, running MacOS Monterey 12.5.1
        iPad Air 1, iOS 12.5.6
        iPad 6th gen, iPadOS 15.6.1

        It is essential for me that all these machines work with Dropbox to backup and sync. That’s what I use Dropbox for.
        So the question is: if I have no online only files, is it still *necessary* for me to update? (as opposed to *recommended*?) Will Dropbox keep working without the update?

        Thank you for any advice or help!
