    Hi there Minacio - thanks for letting us know about this.

    Can you send us a screenshot of the exact message you're getting so that we can have a visual too? 

    Also, did you install the Dropbox desktop with admin privileges on your computer in the first place?

    Let us know more and we'll take it from there.
