Hey there, WreckItTim1, happy May 1st! 

 

Interesting. Would you mind clarifying the version of the Dropbox app that you use on your end? 

 

You should be able to find this, by hovering your mouse over the little Dropbox icon, next to your WiFi on your menu/task bar. 

 

If you could also send me a screenshot of the error message you get on the app, that'd be amazing. 

 

Let me know of any updates!
