Hi Jay,
Thanks for the assist. Unfortunately, my Mac died before I could attempt to install the software and I had to start fresh on a new machine.
However, I now get a NEW error message: "The application “Dropbox” can’t be opened.".
My new macbook is running on Sonoma 14.7.
Can you advise on how to deal with the new error? Thanks! Ryan

The hyperlink does not work. Where Can I go to reinstall the correct app version?

Hi Nancy, thanks for jumping in. Oddly, it looks like everything is working again. Perhaps there was a lag due to reinstalling the macOS .... Thanks for your help! Ry
