Hey rmatdrop, sorry to see you're still having trouble with this.
The thing here is that you're already in contact with the team that specializes in these kinds of issues, so there's not much more we can suggest on our end.
I would definitely advise you to respond to Tony, though, and explain to them what the issue is exactly, so that they can assist you accordingly.
We've passed your feedback along to them as well.
I'm having the exact same issue and have gone through all the steps to resolve. My Dropbox hasn't synched since January with no resolution. Did it ever get resolved with you?
brewcrew5 sorry to hear. I did not gain much from their technical support. An endless back-and-forth of emails leading nowhere. But last week I received an email and also a message popped up under the Dropbox icon in the menu bar saying that a new Mac version of Dropbox was rolled out.

I did a lot of troubleshooting myself as the technical folks did not really help - here is what helped
1) stopping the crashing of the dropbox library - removed CISCO connect
2) unable to open linked files found online only in Adobe apps - installed the new Dropbox MAC version
I am monitoring now and cannot really call it a success - as I am still unable to open my photo library with iphoto
Hope this helps-
- Thank you so much - really appreciate your help. I have CISCO on my machine, too and will remove. In the meantime, I’m backing everything up to my external drive and also copying everything to iCloud. I will likely cancel my Dropbox subscription. I couldn’t get much help from them either.
