Hi Neil, Did you click ‘Yes’ the first time you received this warning? If so you can disable that warning, per-item or permanently. Using the Terminal, Snow Leopard (10.6) users can enter this command, substituting "~/Downloads" (the Downloads folder inside the user folder) for whatever file or folder where they'd like to prevent future download warnings. Firstly upgrade to the latest version of Dropbox. If that doesn't work, try running the following code in a Terminal window. xattr -d -r com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Dropbox.app Cheers, Ronni 17" MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-Core i7 “Thunderbolt" 2.3GHz / 8GB / 750GB @ 7200rpm HD OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard OS X 10.7 Lion Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au>
