"Dropbox needs to change permissions" message on startup

Lately, every time I start my Mac (OS 10.14.6) I get a message that reads (in full):  "Dropbox needs to change permissions for the Folder: /Users/[name]/Dropbox Enter your password to allow this"...

    Hi Rachel R.2,

    Can you try following commands in terminal:

    sudo chflags -R noschg "/Users/$USER/Dropbox"
    sudo chflags -R nouchg "/Users/$USER/Dropbox"
    sudo chown -R "$USER" "/Users/$USER/Dropbox"
    chmod -R u+rw "/Users/$USER/Dropbox"

    Will be asked for your password (sudo).

    Hope this helps. :wink:
