Re: Accidentally restricted file access for 3-rd party app on macOS

Accidentally restricted file access for 3-rd party app on macOS

I have linked some files located in Dropbox folder to build process in Android Studio on macOS. Then I upgraded Dropbox and moved my files to ~/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox. When I started build process in Android Studio a dialog appeared with question, whether I want to grant Android Studio access to my files. I accidentally selected "No" :disappointed_face:

 

Now, I can't find any settings or option to allow this access. Any idea how to solve this?

Thank you Megan for your quick response. You are right, it was a dialog from macOS, not from Dropbox. I found where to enable the access again. For those, who will run into the same problem:

Hi @peterpp, I hope you're doing well! 

 

I'm afraid that this is something outside the scope of our support. It'd have to do more with your MacOS settings, which you'd need to locate, and enable access to the app from there.

 

If you have any questions, I am always here.
