App on Mac not starting anymore, sometimes at all, sometimes very very late.
App not starting anymore, sometimes at all, sometimes very very late. Very frustrating.
Any ideas how to fix it?

Is it in the start menu folder / app start up?
Have you tried a reinstall: www.dropbox.com/downloading

Yes, it is in the start menu, and till now worked just fine. Since a week or two started to act strange.
I would like to not reinstall it, to many files to sync 🙂

Hey dutz dutz, I hope you're doing well!
Reinstalling the app wouldn't remove any of your files, it would simply uninstall and then install anew the app.
Would you mind clarifying the OS you're using on your Mac, and the desktop app's version?
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!

Sure, here they are:
Sonoma 14.2.1
Dropbox: v195.4.4995What I tried today, to quit the app (cause it's in the login items list and automatically it's launching) and then restart it, and apparently works like this...not the best solution I know:)
