    Hi Ophiuhus ,

     

    Thanks for reaching out to us about this. 

     

    Is this happening with the Dropbox app ? Can you please provide a screenshot of the error message?

        Hi Ophiuhus ,

         

        Can you please try the following : 

         

        Go to the top left corner

        press the Apple Logo

        System Settings

        Network

        Firewall

        Options from the Firewall

        Untick block all incoming connections

        Then allow incoming connections from Dropbox

         

        Is this something you are able to do ?

         

        If you are able to do it does it resolve the issue ?
