"dropbox needs to change permissions for the folder" after changing home folder name on macos

Hi

I changed the name of my home folder on macos monterey. I get the following message when opening dropbox: dropbox needs to change permissions for the folder users/OldHomefolder/.dropbox. The Oldhomefolder does not exist anymore. Does anyone know a solution? Thanks

  • I found the solution in a previous thread. Just needed to delete the ~/.dropbox folder
