Hello, thank you for the tips, here are the results 🙂

 

1. command one: (one file in "films" folder access denied error) - i do not have any "films" folder in dropbox folder 

2. command two: success

 

3. command three: success

 

sadly, result is the same 😞 same error (even after restarting computer and starting dropbox from start menu)

 

Any other tips please?

Thanks for trying this, Alexius321!

 

Can we log a ticket for you then, and check this internally to see what’s happening?
