Sounds great @Megan, I guess you have access to my mail address?
Still haven't got any mail from you, @Megan! Have you got a solution not already discussed?
thanks for the greater detail (e.g. by "utility monitor" you meant "activity monitor" etc etc.)
such detail is necessary for us Dunder Mifflin employees...
and yes, your steps worked to get us back in action. Thanks.

@Megan yes, I have tried everything mentioned here, including Andreas solution. Several times, several restarts - it's not working.
@andreabonato here is the screenshot you requested. It's in Swedish, but I guess you get the picture. The words in grey by Dropbox says "Full access to disc".
