Hi,

 

I've had issues for months where the Dropbox desktop client quits and can't be opened again. Each time, customer support provides me with a link to reinstall Dropbox, and it works for a short time so we close the ticket, before it happens again. Done advanced reinstalls, had my security software customer support check if it was their software blocking Dropbox, but mostly at a loose end while I wait for the specialist team here to get back to me. The last time, Dropbox lasted for 6 days before quitting again. I think the time between installs is getting smaller. It had initially required just a computer restart as well, which doesn't work anymore.

 

The popup is "Dropbox unexpectedly quit. Your files are safe. Restart Dropbox to resume sync and other features" - Close or Restart Dropbox. Restart Dropbox doesn't work.

 

Running MacOS 10.15.7

 

Any alternative thoughts appreciated.

Hi Megan,

 

I've received these instructions before and they are still what they should be.

 

My last ticket number is 17801216, but if you have access or whatever, most of my tickets are related to this.

Thanks for the ticket ID and sorry to jump in here @Emi 

 

I was able to locate it in our system and passed your comments on to the agent handling your case. 

 

You should be hearing from them shortly, but do let us know if you have anything else to add or ask in the meantime.

Hi @crystal772m, thanks for posting here today! 

 

Have you tried to restart the app? If so, does it quit automatically again?

 

Can you try the steps @maynaus mentioned in this thread, and let me know if that gets things back on track for you?

 

Thanks a bunch!

No this is not working at all - Appears to want me to sign in as it starts but I get a box that pops up saying the same thing over and over and over 

Need more support?
