It might ask for your password in order to access root privileges. It shouldn't give any errors.Ĭlose Dropbox, and reopen using the normal Dropbox.app. Then, navigate to Dropbox settings and change the folder. This will open Dropbox under sudo privileges (I originally thought I had to drag the Dropbox.app in). Open Terminal, type "sudo", then hit space, and drag the Dropbox executable into the Terminal window. Navigate to the Dropbox app in the Applications folder, right click, Show Package Contents. I know I had to do something like this a long time ago for a couple other computers, but this time I'm having a hard time figuring out how I did it. I did that, and the first command gave an error that "~/.dropbox-master is no such file or directory." 0 Likes Reply Kimberly4 New member Level 2 03-19-2019 10:30 AM Thanks, Rich.

To transfer doc ownership: Open a Paper doc. You'll need to create a new share, copy or move the files into it and re-invite anyone that needs access. Team admins can also transfer ownership of any doc that they currently have access to. A Google search turns up a Dropbox help page that says, in order to fix permissions, paste 5 commands into Terminal. The owner of a folder needs to transfer ownership before they leave the folder. When I go into Dropbox settings to move the folder to the main Macintosh HD directory, it gives me an error that it can't create a Dropbox folder in the specified location.
