Hi tshayes-8580, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Could you try reinstalling the Dropbox desktop application using this link and let me know if you get the same message again?

 

This will help me to assist further!

    FYI, this only happens when opening Dropbox, all the other online apps appear to be opening just fine.

      Guess another note might be helpful,  Both the iPad and iPhone ios apps for dropbox mobile apps appear to be fine.
