OSX Monterey; Macbook M1 Pro; Orig User Deleted Now Cannot Install Dropbox
Glad I didn't pay after six years of free get an individual paid version of DropBox. First need to get this fixed.
14" MacBook Pro M1.
Changed user and deleted.
Dropbox app install showing ...
Thanks for the reply.
How does one generate a log? I will do it but carefully check it over. If the log displays anything that a skilled programmer could discern about me or my home network even down to subdirectory names, IP addresses, etc. I might decline to post it. As I mull this over I am getting more and more sure this is an OSX Monterey problem. Somewhere in the new 14" Mac Book Pro a remnant of the user I started with, renamed and deleted is showing up since I doubt that a Dropbox dmg has already been set with the user I dropped.

In order for us to further investigate, we'll need to get and analyze the full error log that corresponds to the error message pop-up you're getting.
You can obtain the full text of the error by clicking on the blue link within the error message pop-up. This will open a file with the full text of the error. Please copy and paste the text in your next response.
I have no idea how this occurred but after rebooting the new 14" MBP with M1 Pro the absent user that I thought I had killed on the HD and in Users and Groups did not show in Users and Groups, but did appear in my user list subdirectory, even though I had called for it's deletion at the time as well.
Energized, I deleted everything Dropbox and somehow I as the new user was able to easily download and install the free version.
Many thanks to whomever suggested sending a log. I am so averse to giving anyone information about anything that I celebrate that this apparently is no longer necessary. . If something does crop up I may have to consider a log but would need to be assured (and verify for myself) that nothing personal would appear or could be inferred.
Thanks again.
