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 ?

    I don't need to do that, since it is already done
