fileproviderctl crash on Mac OS
I just installed OS 13.6 and Dropbox 183.4.7058
One or both is crashing ever few minutes! Anyone else? Cure?

Jay,
That seems to have done it. So you had me revert from Dropbox 183.4.7058 to Dropbox 182.4.6427.
Thank you tremendously! It was driving me nuts!!

Dropbox StaffNo worries, glad to have helped out. Enjoy your weekend!
I just want to point out that this is likely due to a critical bug in the final release of macOS 13.6 (22G120) that causes `fileproviderctl` to crash immediately. This is due to some sort of missing code signing signature. Reinstalling Dropbox likely "fixes" it by nature of the bundled extension being re-enabled by default. The underlying bug and issue remains.

I beg to disagree. Reinstalling 183 did not help at all, only installing 182 solved it.
I installed OS 13.6 almost simultaneously, so it could be the problem
In my mind, 183 has a fault.
- I guess then that v 183 uses or enforces the FileProvider API while 182 doesn't. Hard to know because Dropbox doesn't publish release notes as far as I know.
