Dropbox StaffHey Chiboko - thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Can you please send us a screenshot of the error you're getting so that we can have a visual too?
Did you reboot your computer, and/or quit and relaunch the app since you noticed this?
Keep us posted!
- I have discovered the exact same issue today and it renders my iMac useless if I canât use it for dropbox as I normally would. It was buggy today so I uninstalled it and reinstalled and after that all my files changed location, I had no dropbox options when I right clicked, I cant open my files or âview on dropbox.comâ as there is âno connection to the serverâ, itâs a total mess.
But my macbook is fine?

Hey James Burford, let's jump right into this!
Would you mind clarifying if you're using the same OS as the OP, and the Dropbox version you have installed there?
Also, what is the app's current syncing status?
Let me know more, and we'll take it from there!
Megan Hi. I have Sonoma 14.5 running and dropbox version 203.4.4857 which is "up to date".
Current syncing status is "all files up to date"
Hi Walter
Did you find a solution to Chiboko issue. I am having the same issue which has rendered my Dropbox folder useless for the past 2 months. Also, all my JPEG file thumbnails no longer show the image so I can't choose images like I used to which again renders all my images useless. Can you please help? Many thanks, Thomas
