Couldn't upload. Give Dropbox permission to access this file
Hello-
I'm running MacOS 13.0.1 and recently, I have had no luck removing the single badge notification. I have tried everything, reinstalled dropbox several times and now i've removed everything (...

Hey Riqiv, apologies for that, I think it was done by mistake, since this is an ongoing thread.
Do you still need assistance with this? Can we send you an email, like Megan suggested?

Of course you can.
Email is: [removed per the Dropbox Community Guidelines]
However, I am going to do a Clean Install of my iMac in a week of so for other reasons.
Is their some kind of "deauthorization" I need to with Dropbox on my computer?
(2nd time asking this question 🙂

Thanks, Riqiv.
If you're going to be doing permanent changes to your computer, I would suggest unlinking your computer from your Dropbox account and relinking it, when everything is finished, to avoid any kind of file loss.
Also, before I send you an email, can you also make sure that you've given Dropbox full disk access?

Hi there,
Yes, DB has full access (see screenshot). Thx for the "unlinking" info. Why don't we wait for my Clean Install and see if the issue persists.

Hi Nancy and Hannah,
I decided AGAINST the Clean Install of my iMac for now as the issues I'm having are minor and the Apple Store says the hard drive is fine.
I clicked on "Fix Hardlinks" and "Fix permissions" and Dropbox has Full Disk Access.
There is also in Permissions a "Reset File System Warning Options." I was wondering what that does and is it worth clicking on???
Here's a screenshot of the latest Sync issue.
Any other ideas???
Thank you 🙂
