Hey skotov, keep in mind that we have temporarily paused updating new users to Dropbox for macOS on File Provider. However, your Dropbox desktop app for macOS will still work as normal.

 

This pause is temporary, and once updates have restarted, you’ll be able to complete the process through the Preferences page.

 

Thank you!

    Megan, thank you! I'm wondering when did this pause come into effect and when you expect to allow upgrades again?

    Megan, really struggling with lack of proper sync. Is there a way to force the update for me? When you expect the pause will be lifted? 

     

    Thanks
