Unable to open DropBox now on my Mac. I changed my hard drive name, and the app insists on opening up under the old user name. I've tried several proposed solutions, and it appears DropBox has no direct support options. What are my options at this point besides switching to Google Drive? I am not interested in upgrading my OS to use DropBox. Thanks.
