Actually this has NOT been solved. I have replied to Harley and the Drop Box team a couple of times and have not heard back. I am very confused by the instructions they gave me and am not comfortabel doing without someone to walk me through it. I am hopong Dropbox can call me ( like other tech services do, Apple, sony, Samsung) to walk me through the issue

    I don't believe that dropbox should be concerned about which 'plan' their customers are on, when their application is causes macbooks and imacs to crash.  This is one of those, 'get in front of it problems'.

    Thank you for any help you can provide us.

      Hey tw-smith, sorry to hear that you're also having trouble installing the desktop app. 

      As a first step and to ensure troubleshooting, could you please confirm for me if you've tried installing the latest stable version of the desktop app (79.4.143)?

      Thanks in advance!
