My dropbox app on Macbook Pro have been stuck on the initial "Starting" phase for a couple of days in a loop of hell. I have weeks of skript writing on stake here. The file is 6.1 mb så i cant see why it would be heavy to handle. The whole computer is grinding to a halt. Writing this is a miracle. Please, can you solve this for me?

    Hey Jonathan123, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    When did you notice that this issue started? Was it after some kind of update, either of Dropbox or your OS?

     

    Also, what is your computer's OS version?
