Dropbox StaffHey Lesbo, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
Could you please send us a screenshot of the prompt you keep getting so that we can have a visual too?
Did you reboot your computer since you first noticed this?
Also, do you happen to have an antivirus or a firewall running on your computer perhaps?
Keep me posted and we'll take it from there.
Hi,
No Anti-Virus it is MacOS
When I click on the Link - Get Started, It appears to go through the installation process, but then it is back again.
I have also restarted, carried out again, but same result.
Thanks
Me too (other than it did install the latest Dropbox version); however, the notification that I still need to update it is still there...and annoying. 😞

Hi,
(1) Please note I also have DropBox Encore which is connecting to a second account, that seems to be working.
(2) In My Settings to Automatically start my applications during login, I have DropBox and DropBox Encore, It appears to start OK, but I also get the error below after a minute or so.
I close the App, then Manually Open, I get the following
