Hello everybody,
I installed Dropbox on my Windows-Pc. It works perfect under administration rights. But when I try to start it under my user there is a permission error.
I tried both, installing with administrator rights and without administrator rights.
The outcome is the same.It is not working. Maybe somebody has a solution for me.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Hallo @Jay,
thank you for your reply. I wanted to say that I tried both ways to install Dropbox. With administrator rights and without.
Both ways have the same outcome. I does not work and the message I did post shows up.
It worked perfect and than the machine was taken out of its domain and put into a new domain. I guess that is the problem.
Best,
Tobi
