Windows (10) keeps telling me that Dropbox wants to change files on my machine
Windows (10) keeps telling me that Dropbox wants to change files on my machine. I get the Account Protection security pop-up window multiple times a day and sometimes there'll be dozens of them in the morning. What's going on?

Have you given it permission to do the changes?

As many times as it asks. Which is more than annoying.

Hi jeffinbville - could you send us a screenshot of the notification you mentioned and clarify the Dropbox desktop app's exact status and version as shown in your system tray?
Did you install it with admin privileges on your machine in the first place?
