Security and Permissions
Start a discussion in the Dropbox Community forum to get help with your account security and permissions. Find support from Community members.
I have gone into the folders (Desktop, Documents, Downloads) and given Read and Write permission, but I still receive the same error message. Where can I find the folder that I need to give permission to?
Nevermind. I found what I needed by giving permission in Security - Privacy.

Hi Andrew.
I have the same problem but can't figure out where to give permission on my iMac (Ventura).
Can you help me any further, please?
Hi,
Permissions are needed, and I can't figure out how to solve the problem after re-installing the Dropbox app to remove Dropbox Beta (because no button was there to switch back). I neither have a "Desktop" nor a "Documents" or a "Downloads" folder on my iMac anymore, and I can't restore it.
The document in your help doesn't help.
Please help, I am really frustrated after this Beta experience.
I was doing in Monterey, but I'm sure it's the same in Ventura. In System Preferences - Privacy, I gave Dropbox "Full Disk Access". I can see Dropbox is also in "Files and Folders" so maybe you only need to give access there. Since I gave Full Disk Access, then "Files and Folders" is automatically included.
