If you are not anal or a purist (I guess I am) then again, yes, it's sufficient to get most of the critical stuff. Yes, it will attempt to delete the most basic stuff (app, preferences, Application Support) but I cannot be convenienced that it will get everything. You have more faith in these utilities than I do. The one downside is, if you restart your Mac, it'll trigger the auto-update, and you'll have to do it all over again.Ī real pain in the rear, but there you have it: until Dropbox fixes this issue, this workaround is pretty much all we've got.An uninstaller like AppCleaner will make sure

It has worked for me, and is still working, even after putting my Mac to sleep or in hibernation.
So, all in all, you must drop the Dropbox.app bundle/icon onto the AppCleaner window, leave all the items checked (your personal folder and the files inside won't be deleted), and delete them all they'll go to the Trash anyway, so if you notice something personal missing, you can always put it back.Īfter that, you reinstall Dropbox version 15.4.22, wait for the icon to show in the Menu Bar (that's important, because it means the app is fully up-and-running), THEN you move the Dropbox.app bundle to Utilities. Uninstalling via AppCleaner is the key, because this app will remove all traces of Dropbox from your Mac, including hidden folders/files that may have to do with the Dropbox.app auto-updating and pushing the new release, the one that doesn't work on Snow Leopard anymore. I'm sure Dropbox is aware of the problem, and that they are going to find a more long-term solution, but in the meantime, that's how you have to proceed to be able to use Dropbox on a Mac running Snow Leopard. (I didn't do that, but apparently, it works too, and allows you to leave the Dropbox.app bundle in the Applications folder.) Other people in this forum also mentioned that they managed to prevent Dropbox from auto-updating by installing a freeware called Little Snitch, and instruct it to block the Dropbox auto-update daemon from accessing the Web. IMMEDIATELY drag-and-dropping the Dropbox.app bundle onto the Utilities folder, so as to prevent Dropbox from auto-updating to a newer build.

Waiting for install to proceed completely, and for the Dropbox icon to appear in the Menu Bar Installing Dropbox build 15.4.22 (from here, for example: ), which is the latest stable build known to work on Snow Leopard Completely uninstalling Dropbox from your Mac with the help of AppCleaner (here: ) So far, the only "solution" we've come up with is more of a workaround, really, and it involves
So currently, I can't do anything.In anyways I get this error message :įile "dropbox\client\main.pyo", line 829, in boot_errorįile "dropbox\client\main.pyo", line 5254, in get_dropbox_pathĪttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'local_config'įile "dropbox\client\main.pyo", line 5534, in main_startupįile "dropbox\client\main.pyo", line 2033, in runįile "dropbox\client\main.pyo", line 1031, in startup_lowįile "dropbox\client\flush_and_terminate\_init_.pyo", line 35, in createįile "dropbox\client\flush_and_terminate\windows.pyo", line 70, in _init_įile "dropbox\client\flush_and_terminate\windows.pyo", line 45, in create_named_process_eventĮrror: (1332, 'LookupAccountName', 'Le mappage entre les noms de compte et les ID de s\xe9curit\xe9 n\x92a pas \xe9t\xe9 effectu\xe9.') I also removed all dropbox associated computers from my account.Īt this moment, I've removed all processus and files that I could in order to intall with the setup again but no way. I tried to install older version (not working). I can't find any solution by myself.Īs the title said, I can't even connect / open / install or uninstall the program from my computer running w10.
I'm having a huge problem with my dropbox since 2-3 days.
