Having a similar issue it seems. It was working fine last night / this morning (possibly) but has since crashed and won't start. I tried a clean install (deleting all DB files from library) and it started, only to disappear when I went to right click on folder to share in finder. Horrible!! I just had to do a really headache-inducing clean install after dealing with massive issues with Beta last month! (currently using the non-Beta version)

Curious: you had the issue even though you didn't have the beta (i.e., "Early releases") option in "General" preferences checked on your account page at: https://www.dropbox.com/account/general?
I'm sure I'd switched mine off—but then I checked and found it had been reenabled. Just curious if that was the case for you or anyone else…
Thanks!
