Wife has a 2019 MB Pro running macOS12.2.1.

Out of the blue, Time machine is alerting her that it couldn’t complete the backup because a file identified as ~/Library/Group Containers/com.dropbox.client.crashpad” could not be backed up.

I did a search using different wording but could not come up with a fix.

She has restarted her MB pro and also booted in Safe Mode but the problem persist.

I did find this:

Crashpad is deployed as a small helper process that monitors your application, waits for a signal that it has crashed, and then captures useful information, including:

The reason a process crashed and the thread that originated the crash
Stack traces for all threads
Contents of parts of the heap
Extra annotations that developers can add to their application (a useful layer of flexibility)

Any suggestions? How about deleting that [com.dropbox.client.crashpad] file?

Many thanks.
