I interrupted the update to a new version of Dropbox app on Mac - how can I install it now?

[AyokaK]

Hello Dropbox community,

I was prompted by the Dropbox app to install a new version for Mac and canceled the installation process (or rather, did not start the download, only read the info given after clicking on "start now"). Now the app does not show me the update button anymore. Do I need to uninstall and re-install the app?

Any helpful tips are greatly appreciated - thank you!

Hey @AyokaK, thanks for posting on our Community!

Could you sign out and back into Dropbox through the desktop app's preferences and let us know how it goes?

You should see the dialog asking you to try the Beta experience again. 

Hope this helps!

Hi Walter,

thank you for your help.

The problem already fixed itself: After restarting my computer the following day the update button was back in place...

But good to know I could try logging out and in again if I have a similar problem sometime.

I will update in the next few days hoping to find the folder again afterwards (wasn't quite sure where it will be once it's not located in favorites anymore...That's why I canceled the update and decided to do it when I have time to look for it afterwards.)

Happy holidays!
