Megan yes, I have tried everything mentioned here, including Andreas solution. Several times, several restarts - it's not working.

Can you send us a screenshot of Files and Folders in Privacy and Security? Ti Can be useful for solution.
Thanks.
Bye.

    andreabonato here is the screenshot you requested. It's in Swedish, but I guess you get the picture. The words in grey by Dropbox says "Full access to disc".

      Screenshot of Full Access Disk? Do you have any security program installed?

        andreabonato It’s late in Sweden now and I don’t have access to my Mac until tomorrow. But I have followed your instructions, Dropbox has full disc access, that box is ticked in Full Access Disc. I don’t have any security program installed. Thanks.
