Dropbox Permission Problem Mac

4/26/2018

Sometimes Dropbox wont install/load if there was a previous version installed, or if you changed the name of the home folder on your Mac. Get it up and running again.

Open terminal in your utilities folder.
Paste and hit enter: mv ~/.dropbox ~/.Trash/dropbox.old
Paste and hit enter: mv ~/.dropbox-master ~/.Trash/dropbox-master.old
Open your root library folder and delete the folder "DropboxHelperTools"
Restart your Mac.
Download the latest Dropbox here, and install.

You're welcome.
