Thanks for posting on our Community, dmccorkleporter! 

 

Did you reinstall the Dropbox app on your computer via this link? 

 

If yes, can you send me a screenshot of the error you keep getting? 

 

Keep me updated.

Sorry for multiple reply’s but I keep thinking of things. Everything syncs fine to my MacBook and even phone.

    Hey dmccorkleporter, thanks for the additional info.

     

    It would really help us get a visual of the issue as well, if you send us a screenshot, whenever you can.

     

    Thanks!

        Hi dmccorkleporter,

        You can ignore that message. It's unrelated to the Dropbox installer itself. The installer is downloaded successfully already (as far as I can see more than 10 times 😀). Just run some of already downloaded installers. 😉

        Hope this helps.

         

        PS: Don't forget to wipe out all installers at the end. They are not needed when all finished and engage your drive space only.
