If you haven't already, can you restart your computer to see if that does the trick?
If you're still getting the errors after a restart, can you let me know which version of the app you have installed, and the current sync status?
Let me know how it goes!

Thanks Daphne. When I restarted my computer the OS upgraded as did some other programs. Now it seems to work fine - I haven't gotten that error message since doing that. Many thanks.

If the issue does crop up again, don't hesitate to give me a nudge here. 😀

I'm using my dropbox on multiple devices and very often I have the message "additional permissions are required to access the following file". I've seen that the solution suggested is to restart the computer.
This is not a real solution since when I'm working on a lot of files and I'm in between doing other things I can not restart the computer. And this is happening several times a day.
Sorry, do you have an alternative solution so that I can access my files from my multiple devices (and have them synchronized) without having to restart them?
Thanks!
