Hey SS71, sorry to hear about this.
Can you please let us know if you rebooted your computer since you first got this error?

Yes, I did reboot the macbook pro and deleted and reinstalled Dropbox without much luck.- markus_4x42 years agoExplorer | Level 4
I had the same issue and neither rebooting nor reinstalling solved it.

There really is something going wrong with the new Dropbox version for macOS.
