MacOS Ventura 13.0.1 - Constantly Asking to get Started with Update
MacOS Ventura 13.0.1 - running on Intel Core i9 15" (2019) Macbook Pro
The Prompt keeps coming up even though I have run the installation numerous times
DropBox for MacOS is Now Ready
Upda...
Hi,
No Anti-Virus it is MacOS
When I click on the Link - Get Started, It appears to go through the installation process, but then it is back again.
I have also restarted, carried out again, but same result.
Thanks
Me too (other than it did install the latest Dropbox version); however, the notification that I still need to update it is still there...and annoying. 😞

Hi,
(1) Please note I also have DropBox Encore which is connecting to a second account, that seems to be working.
(2) In My Settings to Automatically start my applications during login, I have DropBox and DropBox Encore, It appears to start OK, but I also get the error below after a minute or so.
I close the App, then Manually Open, I get the following

UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=No valid file provider found with identifier ‘com.getdropbox.dropbox.fileprovider/16da18ed-ed2c-445a-87a5-79018195ff12‘.}Yes, I have tried that. Even uninstalled Dropbox and re-installed it...to the latest version. However, it still shows the notification like it's not updated. Thank you.
