Dropbox on Mac not starting after recent upgrade
Hello everyone!
I am using Mac OS Monterey 12.6.2
I received a Dropbox prompted upgrade recently, which shifted the Dropbox folder to Cloud storage. It took few hours to sync files and worked oka...
Uninstalled Dropbox.
Deleted Dropbox folder.
De-linked the computer from online account.
Removed all temporary files following a Community post.
Installed Dropbox again, logged in, didn't use the update.
Dropbox folder back on user folder and not in Location.
Files syncing now.
Not the perfect solution, but best I could do after a long online chat, multiple emails and then no response from Dropbox team for 8 hours. I like Dropbox. But today very disappointed with support service.
