Hey punksinatra, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Have you tried closing the Dropbox application and then relaunching it, to see if that helps?

 

Make sure to restart your computer as well, if you haven't already.

 

Let me know how it goes.

Hi Hannah,

 

I restarted multiple times even restarted my computer but still that error shows up. 

 

Any idea how to fix this?

    What options do you get when right clicking a file or folder in your Dropbox folder? A screenshot of this would help greatly.

        Thanks for the screenshot, punksinatra.

         

        Would you mind uninstalling the Dropbox app, restarting your computer and then reinstalling it with admin privileges, to see if that helps?
