This is the default on Mac, as most users are on trusted networks anyway (Apple’s way of balancing usability and security)."

Community ManagerHi mspink ,
Thanks for reaching out. Keep in mind that company issued Laptops in general might be limited to the restrictions set by them.
Can you please try instead the following steps:
- Go to the top left corner of the screen
- click on the apple
- System Settings
- Network
- Firewall
- Options from the Firewall
- Untick block all incoming connections
- Then allow incoming connections from Dropbox
Can you please test and get back to us?
