    Thanks for the screenshot!

     

    Can you try these steps, to give Dropbox full disk access, to see if that helps, please?

      I tried that but to no an avail. Also I’m not giving Dropbox FDA. That should not be necessary and Google Drive manages to put things in ~/Library/CloudStorage without it.

        Hi Orome, I hope you don’t mind if I jump in. 

         

        I had a look into our system and I can see that you have a ticket with our support team, which has been sent over to our specialists. 

         

        Since they have more visibility/advanced tools at their disposal, I’d suggest troubleshooting this with them directly, and checking the steps they’ve sent you. 

         

        I’ve also left them an internal note in the meantime, so that they know you’ve reached out to us here.
