Error message dropbox_errorjq2xw4ti.txt

Hello,

So, I got the bright idea to follow someone's advice to use Automator to allow me to use multiple Dropbox accounts at once on my Mac. Well, I decided it was too much for me and that I only needed one. So, I quit Dropbox and uninstalled it, so that I could have a single, fresh Dropbox account/App/installation. Now, when I try to open Dropbox, I get this error: dropbox_errorjq2xw4ti.txt . 

 

I have given dropbox full access in the Permissions section. What else is there to be done? I have uninstalled and reinstalled and removed the workflow(?) from the Automator but I cannot get rid of it completely or disassociate it from Dropbox. Can someone maybe help with that?

Thanks for your time

    That's not the error message. It's a link to a text file containing the full log and error message. Click the link to open the file and view the full log/error.

      Thank you for that clarification!

       

      Here are screenshots of the .txt file. Can anyone please tell me where the issue is? What do I need to do for the desktop app to open on my Mac again?

       

      Thank you!

        Hey DesignFairy, thanks for sending us the complete error log. 

         

        Could you try an advanced reinstall and let us know if this persists for you?

         

        Thanks so much!
