Hey Chiboko - thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Can you please send us a screenshot of the error you're getting so that we can have a visual too?
Did you reboot your computer, and/or quit and relaunch the app since you noticed this?
Keep us posted!
- James Burford5 months agoExplorer | Level 3I have discovered the exact same issue today and it renders my iMac useless if I can’t use it for dropbox as I normally would. It was buggy today so I uninstalled it and reinstalled and after that all my files changed location, I had no dropbox options when I right clicked, I cant open my files or “view on dropbox.com” as there is “no connection to the server”, it’s a total mess.
But my macbook is fine?
Scared to touch anything at the risk of deleting files that can’t be retrieved- Megan5 months agoDropbox Staff
Hey James Burford, let's jump right into this!
Would you mind clarifying if you're using the same OS as the OP, and the Dropbox version you have installed there?
Also, what is the app's current syncing status?
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!

Megan Hi. I have Sonoma 14.5 running and dropbox version 203.4.4857 which is "up to date".
Current syncing status is "all files up to date"
