My macOS desktop app crashes each time I try to install or open it.
Application Affected Dropbox App Device Mac Studio (Apple M1 Max) Operating System/Browser (if using the web) macOS Tahoe Version 26.2 Dropbox App Version (if using the app) Tried multiple versions, including the most recent offline installer. Question or Issue I am trying to install the Desktop application for Dropbox. However, each time I try and install or open the application, it simply crashes. In order to get it to stop, I have to open Activity Monitor and force quit. The issue is the same when using the offline installer. The only difference is that the actual application icon does not make it to my Applications folder.Ubuntu Plucky - Policy will reject signature within a year

AndréHow can I move my Dropbox files to a new computer?
Windows 11 Pro Dropbox I have this Dropbox installed on my now much older and computer and want to move this over to my newest, extremely faster new system. Both are on my home network. What is the step by step process to copy or move this data? When the move is complete there will be no new data sent to the old computer. The data is a massive amount of telescope images taken remotely and sent as taken to this account. The system is in California while I am in Virginia. Currently this account has just over 1TB of raw data to be moved. The old drive in the old computer will be removed and stored as a physical backup. I just want the quickest way to transfer the data please and the step by step process to accomplish this. I'm 71 years old, somewhat comfortable with computer systems however this new Windows 11 Pro will take some getting use to. The new computer has 2 - 2TB m.2 hard drives and 2 - 16 TB 3.5" hard drives. The second m.2 drive is mainly used as swap folder space for image processing. I've used Dropbox for years but know little of the inner workings. I install, usually with some issue it seems, then it just does its thing. Thanks, Steve
Issue with connecting an additional machine to my account
Somethings not right. I have a free plan which allows me to sync on 3 computers however when I attempt to add a second machine I get a message I have to sign out of one of them. See attched. At this juncture I am only connected to 1 computer and want to add a second. Why would I at this point have to sign out of one of them. I don't understand. In effect it's telling me I can only be signed into 2 machines, NOT 3. I never used to have this issue before, what changed. Bruce
How should I handle the Dropbox app before and after reinstalling Windows on my computer?
Hi everyone, I installed Windows on the C drive and have my Dropbox folder on the D drive. I use the Dropbox app. I want to completely reinstall Windows. I want to delete everything from the C drive and reinstall Windows. The D drive remains unchanged; all data remains there. Are these the correct steps to take: 1) Log out from Desktop app 2) Exit Dropbox app 3) Uninstall Dropbox app 4) Install Windows 11 5) Install Dropbox app 6) Assign to the same folder Is this the right way? Won't that conflict? I want to avoid having to re-sync everything.
