Apps and Installations

Hello,
Whenever I get the message "Dropbox strongly recommends updating to MacOS on File Provider" I go through the motions of doing the update and immediately after reinstalling Dropbox get the same message again. This has happened many times now.
This is a new MacBook, which had been updated from a Time Machine backup from a laptop with an Intel chip.
I wiped the flash drive and did a clean install, hoping this would sort the issue. It didn't.
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks for the update, @Teddy73.
Can you also confirm that Dropbox has full disk access? Is that already done?

Hi Megan,
I just turned on full disk access, prior to this, it was not switched on.
Accessibility is also switched on.
Please advise me of the next steps I should take.

Hey @Teddy73, have you also tried to opt into the beta by signing up for Dropbox early releases?
If not, can you give it a go?

Hi Megan,
I have not opted into the beta and I do not wish to, I place a high level of importance on having a stable version of Dropbox.
Surely, I shouldn't have to opt into a beta. Do you have any other suggestions?
Teddy
Can I send you an email in order for us to have a closer look into this @Teddy73?
