The desktop app on one of my computers keeps throwing a startup error.
I am getting a permission error on my home computer when trying to sync. Tried the help online but I am still getting the same error.
This is what pops up. It has been months since I have been able to use this computer because of this error. Now I have to use this computer and still no support.
Hi HV-PAIA, if you're not on a Dropbox Basic plan with more than 3 devices connected, could you try an advanced reinstall of the app using the steps in this link?
