Split from the MacOS Sierra compatibility thread:

@ben2

still seeing this, with the “supported” version:
File “Odrive_Mac_Master_Build/src/odrive_app/OdriveDesktopApp.py”, line 668, in Odrive_Mac_Master_Build.src.odrive_app.OdriveDesktopApp.OdriveDesktopApp.initialize (/Users/admin/hudson/workspace/Odrive_Mac_Master_Build/deploy/build/src/odrive_app/OdriveDesktopApp.c:12774)
File “Odrive_Mac_Master_Build/src/odrive_app/OdriveDesktopApp.py”, line 1499, in Odrive_Mac_Master_Build.src.odrive_app.OdriveDesktopApp.OdriveDesktopApp.initializedatabases (/Users/admin/hudson/workspace/Odrive_Mac_Master_Build/deploy/build/src/odrive_app/OdriveDesktopApp.c:36794)
Odrive_Mac_Master_Build.src.exception_handling.Exceptions.ComponentException: Unable to delete legacy db

I have neither an admin user, nor one named hudson. any updates coming?

Hi @ben2,
This appears to be caused by a permissions issue on .odrive program data folders in your user home directory.

The easiest way to address may be to just perform a reinstall, following the instructions here and then installing the latest version:

How do I uninstall odrive?

Windows : Exit odrive Uninstall odrive using the standard windows uninstall method (add/remove programs). The default odrive folder will be renamed to odrive_backup_[current date and time] as a backup. MacOS: Please follow the steps outlined below: Exit odrive. Open a terminal session (type “terminal” in Spotlight search): [image] Run the following command in the terminal session (copy & paste the entire thing into terminal and hit the Enter key): cd "$HOME" && rm -r ".odrive"…
