The Dropbox app doesn't launch automatically upon startup on my Mac.
My dropbox will not load automatically on my mac when I start the computer. It used to, why did it stop and how do I set it up to do it automatically?

Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for the additional information there Kino A. - much appreciated.
The next step you could try in this case is a clean, advanced reinstall, if it's not too much of a problem for you.
Let us know of any updates!
Miserable failure…
The first Terminal command worked (I think). After I entered it, Terminal returned with the usual “(my user name)@(my Mac’s name) ~ %”
I then entered “sudo chown -R "$USER" ~/Library/Cloudstorage/Dropbox” Terminal went down a rabbit hole by returning the location in my Dropbox folder of four files followed by “Operation not permitted.” Those files had nothing to do with the Dropbox application so I elected to quit while (hopefully) ahead.
