Hey tzellers, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

Can you please let us know the Dropbox desktop app's exact status and version as shown in your menu bar at the moment?

 

Also, did you give Dropbox full permissions on your computer as outlined here? 

 

Keep me posted!

      Hi tzellers, thanks for the info!

       

      Could you send me a screenshot of the pop-up or message you get, asking you to authenticate the folder? It'll help me get a clear visual.
