Sounds great @Megan, I guess you have access to my mail address?
thanks for the greater detail (e.g. by "utility monitor" you meant "activity monitor" etc etc.)
such detail is necessary for us Dunder Mifflin employees...
and yes, your steps worked to get us back in action. Thanks.
- Can you send us a screenshot of Files and Folders in Privacy and Security? Ti Can be useful for solution.
Thanks.
Bye.
Andrea B. 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?
Thanks for your reply.
Bye
Andrea B - 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.
- Ok. See you tomorrow.
Good night.
Andrea B.
