macbook-pro.local and Dropbox
I'm trying to sign into my Dropbox account but it says that I'm trying to add a new device. But I'm not trying to add a new device. I'm on the same computer that I've had for years and have successfully signed into my Dropbox account for years. Dropbox is showing my current device as "Monica-MacBook-Pro.local". It also shows "Monica's MacBook Pro" as a device that was active about 6 days ago. This is what it should be recognizing as my current device, not whatever the ...Pro.local version is. What is this .local device and how do I get off of it and back to my normal "Monica's MacBook Pro" device? I've uninstalled the Dropbox app and reinstalled it from a Time Machine backup. I've restarted my Mac. I don't know what else to try. I'm on OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6
