Hey @Lesbo, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

Could you please send us a screenshot of the prompt you keep getting so that we can have a visual too?

 

Did you reboot your computer since you first noticed this?

 

Also, do you happen to have an antivirus or a firewall running on your computer perhaps?

 

Keep me posted and we'll take it from there.

I am having a similar issue. My Dropbox is updated to the latest version (v163.4.5456); however, the Dropbox notification in the top menu bar says I still need to update it.

 

It says, "Dropbox for MacOS is now ready. Update Dropbox to use it on the latest version of MacOS." See attached.

 

My tech guy at work (it's for my work Mac) said he thought Canada was blocking my notification from disappearing? I was confused with that response.

 

Thanks, if you can help.wjk71.png

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. 😞

Hey @Lesbo and @wjk71, sorry to see you're having this issue.

 

Have you tried quitting the Dropbox app and then relaunching it from your Applications folder, to see if that helps?

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

Hey @Lesbo, thanks for the additional info and the error log you provided.

 

Would it be OK if we reach out via email to have a further look internally at this point?

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.

Thanks for trying that, @wjk71.

 

In that case, may we reach out to you via email as well, so we can investigate further?
