I wanted to connect my personal dropbox app with a business dropbox app. It did not work. I downloaded the app, but the folder with the business account did not appear in the Finder window. I unistalled Dropbox, and then reinstalled it, but now Dropbox does not open at all. I restarted my Mac, but it did not help.
But in the meanwhile, I launched activity monitor and terminated all Dropbox processes. I also deleted all dropbox Settings after reading the instructions in the bottom of this web page: https://www.dropbox.com/help/desktop-web/uninstall-dropbox.
Then I downloaded the app again, and now everything works.
Hey @SorenSteensen, thanks for posting your inquiry on our Community, we’re here to help you out as much as possible!
As an initial point of reference, can you let us know if you’re getting any error messages when you’re trying to launch our app? If so, I’d appreciate a screenshot(omitting personal info) of what you’re seeing in your next message here, so as to get a better idea of what’s happening.
Now, unlinking & relinking is a great troubleshooting step, though it seems that it didn’t about the desired results this time. For that reason, I‘d suspect that the installation wasn’t completed correctly in the first place. Additionally, I’m wondering if you’re using Boxifier, or a security application that could be blocking our app from running in the background. Please do let me know whether any of the above applies.
To my mind, you could disable all security applications running in the background then you could have a look at the steps outlined here:
Stop Dropbox (if needed) by clicking the Dropbox icon in the menu bar on the top of your screen. >Click on the gear icon in the Notifications panel and select "Quit Dropbox".
Delete the Dropbox application from the Applications folder. You may need to provide your computer password in order to perform this action.
Reinstall the Dropbox desktop application following these steps:
Open the Dropbox .dmg file and double click the Dropbox icon. Dropbox should appear in your menu bar.
Please do et me know here on how these steps work for you & I’ll do my best to follow-up on this discussion. Thanks again for reaching out to us on our Forum!
