Dropbox StaffHey there artbytar, sorry to see you're having issues with this.
If you happen to be on the Basic plan, have you ensured that you have no more than 3 devices connected to your account as you might be hitting the device limit?
If that's not the case, you could try temporarily disabling any security software you might have running on your computer and try again.
In any case, please keep us posted!
Thanks! I am on the basic plan, but I have checked devices and I only currently have my phone connected. I'm not running any security software except for what is built into Mac Ventura OS. I recently upgraded to the new M2 MacBook Pro and it does seem to be locked down with all kinds of security, so I suspect that's the issue, but I think I have given dropbox access to everything I know to give it access to....so I'm still stumped. It was working fine on my old MacBook Pro.

Thanks Walter! I had to give those other areas outlined in the "Steps" document access and was finally able to log into the desktop app.
