Latest Update App Won't Open

After having Dropbox hound me for days about the latest update, I finally did it earlier today. Now the Dropbox app quit and won't open again. MacPro 2019 Mac OS 12.6.2 Monterrey. It was working fine...

    Latest development. Dropbox reappeared in my menu bar when I started my computer this morning without me doing anything, even though I had uninstalled it. It seems to be working fine. I've never had software "heal" before, but welcome to the 21st century I guess?? I can only think that since I have my OS set to install updates that some update of thMacOS or Dropbox app took care of things.

Hi Megan !

 

I saw your response above. On the article link you shared - what is meant by a "headless version" of Dropbox?

I use selective sync. So I wanted to understand.

 

Sincerely,

Sejuti

Hey sejutibasu, sorry to jump in here, but I just wanted to mention that the headless version of Dropbox is referring to the Dropbox desktop app that's designed for Linux machines with no GUI present. 

 

I hope this clarifies!
