Thank you for the suggestion, but no, I only have two listed. When I started troubleshooting my problem, I deleted my Mac computer thinking that could be the issue. In my process of trying to connect it has not re-added the Mac to the list.

 

Thank you again.

Thanks for the update here!

 

Can you try our offline installer, to see if that does the trick?

    I had tried the offline installer. Your link took me to a different version than what I had, so I tried it. Still got the No Internet Connection error.

    What I had was: 164.4.7914

    What your link was; 165.4.4300

     

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    Thanks for that, MWCShopper and happy Monday.

     

    Can you send us a screenshot of any error messages that you're getting, so we can have a visual of the situation as well?

     I do not have a problem with the app on my Windows computer, just my Mac. When I launch the app, just to try and troubleshoot, I renew the TCP/IP address and launch my web browser and search the web to make sure I have a good connection. Then launch DropBox app and get this message with the Dropbox window when opened- Starting   Starting.

    Thank you!

    Thank you!
