    Hi jkc-muc ,

     

    Thanks for reaching out. 

     

    Could you please try doing this: 

     

    • Look for search bar
    • Then type terminal
    • When the terminal windows opens:
    • Type the following command

    sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --add /Applications/Dropbox.app

     

    It will ask you for the password of the Mac next

    After this is done can you please see if the issue persists in the dropbox app ?

     

    Can you please test this and get back to us?

    Thanks Jay,

     

    Did as you suggested but no real difference, just this (alternating between black and blue rhomboids).

      Do you have any proxy, VPN, firewall, security software, or even ISP/router settings that could be restricting traffic to the following Dropbox domains?

        I use the standard Mac firewall but that hasn't changed (except for the recent upgrade to Sequoia)
