Hi there FloridaJill - sorry to hear you're having issues with this.
The error you’re getting is temporary and should be fixed by restarting the Dropbox desktop app.
To restart the Dropbox desktop app:
- Open your Dropbox desktop app if it isn’t running already.
- Click the Dropbox icon in the menu bar at the top of your screen.
- Click your profile picture or initials in the upper right of the window that appears.
- Click Quit.
- Open a new Finder window.
- Click Applications.
- Double-click the Dropbox icon.
Let me know if this helped or if you're still getting the same error.
