Hi Ophiuhus ,

 

Thanks for reaching out to us about this. 

 

Is this happening with the Dropbox app ? Can you please provide a screenshot of the error message?

      Hi Ophiuhus ,

       

      Can you please try the following : 

       

      Go to the top left corner

      press the Apple Logo

      System Settings

      Network

      Firewall

      Options from the Firewall

      Untick block all incoming connections

      Then allow incoming connections from Dropbox

       

      Is this something you are able to do ?

       

      If you are able to do it does it resolve the issue ?

        I don't need to do that, since it is already done
