You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.

Windows User Account Control (UAC) keeps popping up
Do you want to allow this program to make changes to your computer?
Dropbox.exe
VERY ANNOYING. Comes up all the time. Was working fine for at least a year now, and suddenly I keep getting this message frequently.

I'm seeing the same error. Pretty much every hour it pops up asking to make changes.
I've tried deleting the (excessive number of) scheduled tasks that dropbox creates, but even that didnt fix it.
Pressing yes does nothing. Pressing no does nothing.
I'm on version 67.4.83. Please fix the root cause of the issue.

For more information about UAC levels please see resource.#2. Uninstall the application following steps. Please note that you do not need to remove the Dropbox folder or any files stored there.#3. the newest version of the Dropbox application.#4. Once you have download the install file, double-click on the file to run the installer. Please do NOT launch the installer by right-clicking on the file and selecting as admin" as this will lead to incorrect install permissions.#5. During the installation process, you may be prompted for the Admin username and password of your computer. Please be sure and provide the username and password of your Admin user account on your computer.#6. Finally, when prompted, enter the email address of the Dropbox account you are using on this computer and if needed, check the advanced preferences to apply any Selective Sync settings.
"vuoi consentire a questa app di apportare modifiche al dispositivo dropbox ?"
ogni volta che accendo il pc e anche più volte al giorno mi esce questa schermata e ogni volta accetto. Vorrei trovare un modo per disattivare solo quest'avviso relativo a Dropbox e non in generale (perchè è comunque utile per le installazioni di altri software)
Grazie
- MeganEhi MCristina, sarei più che felice di aiutarti!
Ti ho unito in questo thread, poiché sembra essere un problema simile.
Riesci a individuare la tua icona Dropbox (sulla barra delle applicazioni, accanto al tuo WiFi) posiziona il mouse lì e fammi sapere qual è lo stato dell'applicazione Dropbox Desktop?
Un'altra cosa è assicurarsi che l'app sia installata con i privilegi di amministratore. In caso contrario, suggerirei di installare Dropbox con privilegi di amministratore poiché alcune funzionalità fanno affidamento su di esso.
Tienimi aggiornato su come va!

Hey MCristina, I'd be more than happy to help!
I've merged you under this thread, since it seems to be a similar issue.
Can you locate your Dropbox icon (on your task bar, next to your WiFi) hover your mouse there and let me know what the status of the Dropbox Desktop application is?
Another thing is, to make sure the app is installed with admin privileges. In case it isn't, I'd suggest installing Dropbox with admin privileges as some features, rely on it.
Keep me posted on how this goes!
