Dropbox will not sync on Mac OS Monterey
I have reinstalled dropbox and checked settings and permission, yet it will not sync. I cannot find any way to get phone support. Can anyone please assist?
- 3 years agoSince you're still getting an error, could you try a clean, advanced reinstall and let us know how it goes claireb1?
Just make sure to remove any devices that might be putting you over your account's limit from your Security page, if you're on the Basic plan that is.
