Hi, I cannot ope the Dropbox App on my iMac. I used the Migration Assistent to transfer all my data to this new (second hand) iMav.
This is the script I get when I open the fault message. Anybody an idea? Looks like there is confusion about User/Robert and User/Robert 1. Only User/Robert 1 exists on the new iMac.
