- WalterGlad to hear this helped!
See you around the Community and enjoy the remainder of your week!I'm getting the same error on my PC. Any suggestions for how to fix it? I was out of town for a week and came back to this, so I don't know what changed. I do believe there was a Windows update on Jan 11 which may have caused it. I'm running Windows 7. I have the error log that was generated if that helps.
THANK you so much. I had the same problem!
I am having the same issue - though I am using the latest Big Sur - Dropbox was working just fine on my iMac and then after returning from a short vacation, the application refused to boot citing permissions error. Not sure what has changed, but I tried allowing permissions to "full drive access" and in accessibility and nothing changes. It still won't start.
Any other ideas?
Many thanks,
Daniel
