    I realized there was already a Dropbox folder in CloudStorage, so I deleted that and tried the install again. It worked, no crash. Everything working fine now. I know old Dropbox would warn and rename existing folders, this version crashes.

Hey organik, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

If you go through the app's preferences and check the sync tab, what's the location of your Dropbox folder?

 

And if you hover over your Dropbox icon, which version do you have installed?

 

Let me know and we'll go from there.

      Thanks for the update, organik.

       

      Can you also confirm that Dropbox has full disk access? Is that already done?
