Error after Migrating to new Macbook

[ustrucks]

After Migrating my Macbook to a new Macbook using the Migration app I get an error opening the desktop app on my Macbook.

The Error says to contact support with the txt file attached but there seems to be no way to actually contact support?

Hi there @ustrucks, thanks for reaching out to us here!

Transferring apps using the migration service between devices isn't ideal, as you can redownload apps in most cases, especially if the devices are running different OS versions.

Can you try the steps here to do an advanced reinstall of the desktop app to see if that does the trick?

You don't need to take any action on the local Dropbox folder, only reinstalling the app itself.

Let me know if you have any questions!
