  • Hi Nancy, Thank you for your response - I resolved the issue. Long story short was having issues with my Ram space and unintentionally removed dropbox app from my desktop 🙂

    I should mention I can access files in dropbox via a browser, just can't link/relink or drag to desktop from my finder...

      Hey DeeC! Thanks for posting here today. 

       

      It looks like the error you’re getting is coming from Adobe and not Dropbox. 

       

      However, when mentioning that you can’t relink or drag files to desktop from your Finder, can you clarify what’s happening exactly when you try to do this? 

       

      Are you getting any errors when trying to open other types of files as well on the desktop app? 

       

      Let me know, and we’ll go from there.
