Hi Jay, I already announced to support and they replied that the problem is known and that engineers are working on a solution. But I haven't had much support and a feeling that my problem is being taken seriously.
I wanted to write here in the community to know if other users had experienced the same problem as me.

I have not found a solution to the problem, but I have bypassed it.
I created a new profile in Mac OS X and now everything seems to work.

    Hi Laurent N.1,

     

    I'm Graham from the Community team. I hope you're well. I just wanted to jump in here and say thanks for sharing your work around for this issue. I was wondering if you had contacted support as per Jay's instructions to try and find a more permanent fix or if you're happy to continue to bypass it using your work around. Either way, I also wanted to let you know that we have some spot prizes for Community members who share information like you have in this thread and we would like to award you one as a small token of our appreciation. Would it be OK for me to reach out to you at the email address associated with this account? Let me know and I'll get your gift on its way to you!

     

    Thanks again, and have a great day!

    Graham

    Hi Graham, thank you for the information. Before contacting the community I had contacted the dropbox technical service. They had replied that the problem was known and that engineers were working on the problem, but I did not get much support.

    The bypass solution I found is not a perfect solution, but it allows me to work with customers every day. I still have one problem that I cannot understand: I can only attach documents if I use Apple Mail. In some cases I have to use Spark from Readdle, but I cannot attach documents.

    In all cases you can contact me at the email linked to my account.
