Dropbox app on Mac not responding
I am on Mac High Sierra 10.13.3, upgraded last week. Post the upgrade, Dropbox refuses to Sync. Been using Dropbox on this Mac for the last 5 yrs but never had this problem.
Even the Dropbox icon h...
OK...update
In addition to Dropbox not syncing, i had also lost ability to copy/paste as well. So while trying to search a fix for that problem, it seemed to have fixed by Dropbox issue as well.
All I had to do was type "sudo update_dyld_shared_cache" through Terminal.
And restart.
Everything works fine now. Don't ask me how it happened.
Cheers.
Unfortunately, even the Dropbox icon on my taskbar has vanished. Except the Dropbox folder on Finder where all my files still reside (thankfully!), there is no sign of life from Dropbox on my machine.

Dropbox StaffMy attempts to get the desktop application for DropBox to run on my MacBook Pro 15 (2017) running High Sierra keep failing. I've downloaded the app man times and tried the solution in this thread. Everything goes fine until I try to run the application. Nothing happens. I've been deleting files to save room on my desktop. I cut down the selective sync to just a few folders to give me more room on my hard drive. I was given an error message that I was attempting to delete too many files and I need to use the desktop application.

I'm having this same problem! Bought a new Macbook Air and updated it so now it's running Mojave on the latest version. I installed Dropbox with offline installer and it did the download and installation but never gave me confirmation that it installed. It backed up all of my photos and I can access them through Finder, however the program itself I cannot open and it will not let me delete it to reinstall it.

Hi Jane,
Checked Activity Monitor -> Only "Dropbox Finder Integration" is running.
Checked Dropbox folder -> Does not have any syncing icons.
No, I don't use Boxifier. I've tried the offline installer multiple times but the installation is not sucessful. Does not fail. Starts but there is no response that it is completed.
Dropbox was working fine after I upgraded to High Sierra in Nov 2017. But 2 weeks back, there was another upgrade to 10.13.3, and post that, Dropbox has stopped syncing. Icon has vanished from the Task Bar.
Please help!

It wants a password and I don't know it.

I am having this exact same problem.
Dropbox is not syncing, there is no icon in the top right of the icon bar, when I try and open the Dropbox application nothing happens, and when I check the Activity moniter, the only Dropbox related process is "Dropbox Finder Integration", as the previous user had.
The Dropbox program was working well last week and syncing fine. I have tried the solution that the previous user said worked, typing "sudo update_dyld_shared_cache" through Terminal, however nothing different occured for me even after restarting.
Dropbox was working and syncing fine last week, I don't know what has happened especially as I have not had any updates that I was aware of over the weekend.
