Hi marty39 ,
Thanks for reaching out on this.
Let's get into it straight away, a possible resolution you can follow in the Mac is :

- When the terminal windows opens:
- Type the following command
sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --add /Applications/Dropbox.app

This was suggested previously by Surething and has helped a couple of people already.
Can you please test this and get back to us?
