I've also been having this problem for a few weeks, and it's slowing me down! How can I continue to use Dropbox via my finder without getting these roadblocks ("Grant File Access" that won't let me access)?
Is there a problem with syncing?

Hello, Stephanie T.3, and thank you for posting today!
Can you let me know your app's syncing status?
Keep in mind that a screenshot of what you see on your end when you try to open a file would be more than welcome, so we can have a visual of this.
Thanks!
