How do I report a crash to Dropbox?

[vonlost]

I have the Mac traceback, showing exactly where it crashed.  Developers at Dropbox should see it.

Hello @vonlost, thanks for reaching out to us here!

Just to make sure we're on the same page, are you getting any errors when the app crashes, or is the app silently crashing?

Please send along a screenshot if you're getting any errors.

Also, what version of the app do you have installed at the moment?

Keep me posted!

Hi Daphne,

I have Version 116.4.368 (116.4.368).  It was Dropbox Finder Extension that crashed.  I wasn't using Dropbox at the time, just dragging files in Finder to/from iCloud.  The only message was the "Problem Report for Dropbox Finder Extension" that "Dropbox Finder Extension quit unexpectedly."  I have the traceback, which includes the part below.  Do you want the whole thing?

Cheers,

Ron

Hey there @vonlost; sorry to jump in here, but could you perform a clean, advanced re-install and let us know if you notice any difference?
