Hi Nancy,
Thanks for the reply. I checked the things you asked.
The filepath is: Macintosh HD/Users/XXX/Dropbox
No specific update has been taken place, just like I told you earlier I got the same things installed and same updates on my macbook, where everything works fine.
All the permissions are there!
I found out something new. So when I do the following things it will give me a popup from Finder where it say something like: Finder wants to change the name of "...". Enter your password to allow this.
- When changing a folder or item
- When moving an item towards another folder in Dropbox
- When moving an item out of Dropbox
This is only happening in the finder. When I go online, browser, it works.
But when I copy a total new item inside a folder which was previous lets say on my desktop. It works. I can just copy it in there. Also I can change the name of that item, or move it somewhere else. How on earth.

Dropbox StaffThanks for the additional information fooost - much appreciated.
Can you please clarify if you installed the desktop app with admin privileges in the first place giving it full access as outlined here?
Hi Walter. Yes, both. I will just have to reinstall I guess. Just a weird bug?
