I have been struggling with this issue for months now and I have gone through all the forums and tried everthing to get rid of the error message "Your account can't be updated to leave the shared workspace. To continue syncing your Dropbox account, close the following files or folders: C/users/xxx/Dropbox"
This reply is for everyone like me, where all the forum suggestions have not worked.
My anti virus software that I use (Trend Micro) has a feature called Folder Shield and when you configure it, you can choose the folders you wish to protect. I removed my dropbox folder from the Folder Shield and my Dropbox reinstallation has worked and is back to working the way we all know and love.
I hope this is helpful to all.
