    Hi there benno1, sorry to hear about this.

     

    Have you rebooted your computer at all since you first noticed this? 

     

    Also, am I safe to assume that you've installed the desktop app with admin privileges in the first place and also granted Dropbox full disk access as outlined here?

     

    Let me know and we'll take it from there.

Hi Walter 

 

Thank you very much for your quick reply. I reinstalled the Dropbox app and now the migration seems to be working. It is possible that the app was previously installed without admin privileges. I'll mark your answer as solution once the migration has finished successfully.
