Cannot start Dropbox app on Macbook
Hi,
I installed Dropbox app on Macbook Pro, system Ventura 13.2.1 (22D68), but it cannot start. I have already tried to reinstall it, but still did not work.
And the error file:
bn.BUILD...
- It mysteriously solved. When I restarted my mac after an update and gave it another try, it suddenly popped out log-in issues which showed that dropbox identified my mac as a new device each time I tried to log in, so I cannot log in due to exceeding the maximum number of devices I was allowed. After I removed my login devices, it finally start.

Dropbox StaffHey there, danclarkis, happy Monday!
Do you get the same error message as the OP? If not, could you attach the start-up error code back here, to you reply?
Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!
I couldn't get my Dropbox app to work. Keep showing the same error prompt as below: Does anybody know how to fix it? I have used the "fix permission error', yet, it still won't allow me to access Dropbox app.
