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?
- Since 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.
Great. It would be good to know how you get on. It works on my Mac which runs 12.0.1 but not on my Macbook, which runs 12.0.1. The only difference I can see in my settings under privacy is that on the MacBook Pro, it has 'dropbox' rather than 'dropbox. app' for Accessibility, Full Disk Access and Files and Folders. Not sure if this is an issue.
