The destop app is not syncing my files. How do I uninstall and reinstall the desktop app (MacOS 10.13.1)?
Hey @faroutsider,
Thanks for reaching out about this.
To do this you need to make sure you save and quit ALL programs that access files in the Dropbox folder on your Mac first. Then , follow these steps:
1. Download the newest version here.
Then, stop Dropbox (If needed):
2. Reinstall the Dropbox desktop application
I hope this helps.

This is not working for me. My icon disappeared from my systems bar so could not sync. Uninstalled DropBox. When trying to reinstall, I get a fail with a different error message every time. My computer updated last week or so - maybe that has something do to with it?
Sorry to hear that @cpickle - could you share a screenshot of the exact error you get so I can get a better view of the matter at hand?
Thanks!
