You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Additional permissions are required to access the following files
Suddenly, I can't open any powerpoint files online or from my desktop in dropbox. I can open, edit, and save all my excel files, but not powerpoint. I use an iMac and macOS High Sierra.
Thanks for the questions, Walter.
The error I was getting is "additional permissions are required to access the following files"
Then the message showed me the name of the powerpoint file I was trying to open. My dropbox app says it is up to date. I read elsewhere that the macOS High Sierra may have been causing the error message.
So, I just updated to macOS Mojave and the problem went away. Why my mac decided to complicate the middle of my work day is beyond me. Thanks for checking in.
