i cannot launch dropbox on mac sonoma why?
Hi @Steve42, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Could you click the blue link and then copy and paste it in your next post in order to see why the app isn't loading?
What is the exact version of Sonoma and the Dropbox desktop application that you're using? Have you made any recent changes on this computer?
This will help me to assist further!
