Hey ingrid10, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

Do you have any external drives connected to your device at the moment? 

 

And if you hover over your Dropbox icon, which version do you have installed?

 

Let me know and we'll go from there.

    ingrid10 Hi, I've checked and it looks like you are on a team that has not opted into this update yet. In order to be eligible for the Dropbox update for macOS while on a team, your team's admin must opt-in before any team members can perform the update. Here's more information: https://help.dropbox.com/installs/macos-for-teams. Separately, we'll work on improving the messaging in product to make this more clear.
