Hey anneborremans, 

Welcome to the Dropbox Community and thanks for reaching out for support here! 

If you follow @Rich 's instructions and you still experience the issue, you'll need to open a ticket with us, since this is a permissions error and we'll need to have access to your account to have this resolved. 

Please let me know your ticket ID here, so that I follow-up, I'd be glad to work on that with you. 

Kind regards, 

JaneA

Hey @anneborremans, 

Thaks for your cooperation! 

I'm updating the thread here so that other users see your solution in the future. You got past this issue when you removed a second Dropbox folder you found on your device, which brought the installation to a halt. This modified the installation folder path, hence the new installation could not overwrite the previous one. 

Please get back in touch here if there's anything else I could do for you, I'd be more than glad to follow-up. 

Warm regards, 

JaneA
