Hi there Mikewarriner, thanks for flagging this with us. 

 

Can you please clarify your device's exact OS version and the version of the Dropbox desktop app installed there as shown in your menu bar? 

 

If you could also send us a screenshot of the error you see, I'd appreciate it. 

 

Let me know what you find and we'll take it from there, Mike.

        Hi.

         

        Macbook Air M2 running Ventura 13.1

        Dropbox version is impossible to find since having it installed causes the machine to Kernel Panic and restart.  But latest version just after you moved the dropbox directory.

        Every time I try to post the kernel panic log the post doesn't appear, but happy to email it to your support line if you can share an email.
