Couldn't start Dropbox
Hello
I have a problem relink on my Mac.
I have two Mac.
I unlinked application with Mac1 at once by Mac2.
Later, I tried to relink application with Mac1 but I failed to link.
I tried to recover.
At once uninstall the application, and then reinstall application, but failure happened again.
I appreciate it if you give me any advice how can I recover this situation.

Hi hassyhassy,
Execute following command in terminal:
rm -rf ~/.dropbox
Now, try relink again. 😉
Hope this helps.

I recently upgraded to a new machine with Ventura. Dropbox had issues afterward, telling me it was corrupt, syncing was stuck, telling me it had 30GB to sync, etc. I uninstalled and reinstalled with the version available.
Now when I try to run the app I get this message:
The error is:

I'm guessing this is a compatibility problem with Ventura?
Thanks for any help
The fix recommended is:
Execute following command in terminal:
rm -rf ~/.dropbox
Before I go running commands I dont understand, can someone please explain what it does and why its appropriate? Thanks
