To do this, open the Dropbox preferences by going to its menu extra, then clicking the gear icon, and finally choosing Preferences. Instead, for Dropbox-specific errors, you can use a feature in the program that will tackle file permissions associated with the program's configuration and data files being handled by it. Holding the Option key in the Account section of the preferences will show the "Fix Permissions" option, instead of the standard option to unlink the current computer. But this only affects access permissions on system files and installed applications, and will not touch files in your user account. If a permissions error such as this occurs, then the first thing that might come to mind is to use Disk Utility's Permissions Fix routine.
If this happens, then it could be because of an improper permissions setup with the Dropbox configuration files in your account, or with the files currently being copied.
Dropbox can sometimes give you errors, saying that it cannot transfer something because it does not have permission to access some of the files being copied. Dropbox is one of the more popular cloud-based syncing and storage tools, and offers Mac users a convenient way to transfer files from one system to another, or share files with colleagues.
