The Dropbox app throws a startup error on MacOS 13.7.1.
After about 15 years using Dropbox on my iMac (now with OS Ventura 13.7.1), for the first time it is giving me an error message right after it starts up. It immediately closes after an error. Tried rebooting the iMac multiple times already, and did a reinstall downloading the lastest version from Dropbox website, nothing worked. Important information: nothing changed on my MacOS install in the last few days to provoke this kind of behavior from Dropbox app. Nothing changed on my personal home network, neither on my firewall and no new routers/modem, no new network settings to create this problem. Didnt install any new app on my iMac lately that could have affected Dropbox install. I would greatly appreciate if someone could PLEASE help me solve this. Im really lost, cause Dropbox has been working perfectly for me on both my Windows and Mac machines for over 10 years now!! Heres the error message: This pops up one or two seconds after the Dropbox icon appears on the top bar. After the error message appears, Dropbox freezes and I cant even access the settings option to try some solution. The app closes right after i click on "OK". Here´s the transcription of the error log file the above message box gives me: Any HELP, please???

Finder context menu missing for Dropbox files on macOS
Hi everyone — after migrating from an iMac to a Mac mini 2024 (M4, 32GB), Dropbox sync works but Finder integration is gone. I first saw this on macOS Sequoia 15.5 and I’ve since updated to macOS Tahoe 26.1 with no change. Online-only files in my Dropbox folder show as 0 KB and download/open fine on double-click, but there are no Dropbox right-click options in Finder (no “Make available offline”, no “Online-only”, no Dropbox submenu). Tried: enabling Dropbox File Provider in Login Items & Extensions, granting Full Disk Access, relaunching Finder/rebooting, and full uninstall + reinstall from Dropbox .dmg. Still missing. I even contacted Dropbox Support and they haven't given me any solutions yet. Has anyone found a fix or workaround to restore the Finder context menu actions? Thanks!
The desktop app isn't booting up automatically on Mac OS, and there's two Dropbox folders
i have three mac computers running same software and configurations - all on latest tahoe - all have dropbox on them and until recently all logged dropbox in automatically on restart (nothing accessibility and privacy have correct settings and disk access) - i also have dropbox files on the computers and not just iCloud - multiple times have uninstalled and reinstalled dropbox to try and fix - recently i found the advanced reinstall pages on dropbox with some terminal instructions - when i went to reinstall there was for first time toggle to opt out of File Provider which i did not click - now i have two dropbox file folders - one under user name (with the complete files on computer hard drive as should be) and now one under user name/library/cloudstorage/ - trouble is when i now click on dropbox in finder that has the files but all showing in cloud only - the other one is there but in a different place in finder - worried now about files on hard drive no longer syncing correctly - and the worst is the dropbox app with still not load at startup - could really use some help and advice
Can we disable the Dropbox menu bar icon on macOS?
Is there any way at all to just get rid of the menubar icon? I keep getting red notification dots about things I don't care about at all, despite all notifications being disabled. Today it just needed to advertise a feature to me. With a red badge that looks like an error. No. Do not do this. Older threads I've found indicate that i can "simply" quit the app (which will "simply" make it stop working altogether). While I spend time trying to get support on the red dot issue, is there ANY way to just get rid of the icon altogether? I have zero use for it, it is 100% annoyance. And of course now I remember this is why I stopped using Dropbox, but surely this is not still the case?? Any help/workarounds/etc appreciated. Thanks.
How can I create local copies of my files on the Mac Dropbox app?
Device: Mac Studio Operating System/Browser (if using the web): Mac OS Tahoe Syncing Status Up to date Question or Issue I have been using Dropbox for years. I have selective sync and everything is online. I want to create a local copy. How do I do that? I donot want to go folder by folder and say keep a local copy. I want to still have all folders on line just to keep a local copy of every thing in simple action. I am also considering keeping a synced copy on my Ugreen NAS. How do I do that? Thank you for your help.Sync Issues with integrated Dropbox app on Mac
Device (Mac mini m4 / iMac m1 etc.) Syncing Status Up to date Question or Issue Hi all, my team and I are using dropbox via the integrated app system in the Mac finder. We have been using this for years with little to no issues, until last week we started having an issue where team members would upload or edit files, and these would not be visible to anyone else but themselves. I have found that manually clicking on the dropbox icon (in the top right) to check for sync errors, resulted in it saying that all sends were up-to-date, but if you clicked pause for 30 mins, and then immediately resumed, it would then sync said files. In some cases also, the files would sync after 24 hours on their own. Has anyone got any ideas as to why this might be happening, and if so how to make sure all dropbox remain synced please, I would be extremely grateful. Regards Sam
