I can't open the app, reinstalling doesn't work.

Salve,

quando cerco di avviare l'app Dropbox su Mac mi compare il messaggio "Impossibile avviare Dropbox". L'app ha sempre funzionato sino a ieri. Cosa posso fare? Ho già provato a disinstallare e reinstallare il programma invano.
Chiedo aiuto, grazie.

    Ciao, nandom111 benvenuto nella nostra Community!

    Potresti cliccare sul collegamento ipertestuale blu e inviarmi il messaggio di errore completo? Per poter indagare ulteriormente, dovremo ottenere e analizzare il registro degli errori completo che corrisponde al messaggio pop-up che stai ricevendo.

    Tienimi aggiornato e da lì ci occuperemo noi!

    Hey there, nandom111 welcome to our Community!

    Would you be able to click on the blue hyperlink and send me the full error message? In order for us to further investigate, we'll need to get and analyze the full error log that corresponds to the message pop-up you're getting.

    Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
