Dropbox StaffHey Alfredo Lavalley, thanks for the screenshot!
Can you also clarify the OS you're using on the MacBook Air M1 laptop?
I would like for you to locate your Dropbox icon on your menu bar, next to your WiFi and hover your mouse there.
That should give you the version, and also syncing status of the app at the moment. Can you share that with me?
Hi Megan, thank you for your message.
My operating system is macOS Ventura, and as you requested, I have attached a screenshot of the current version of Dropbox.
Thanks in advance for your assistance,Alfredo
