Connecting components after quitting DB

MacOS 12.6.9

Dropbox 186.4.6207

DB icon in menu bar constantly showing sync.

Quit DB.

Restarted DB, now icon is grey and shows "Connecting Components."

I read through this post: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Apps-and-Installations/Dropbox-app-stuck-on-Connecting-Components/td-p/713477

Does not apply to my situation, I am not using a beta, I am not running Ventura, no version in ~/Library/Application Support.

I am also using DB 186.4.6207 on another computer running MacOS 10.14.8 with no issues.

 

What steps are needed to fix this ?

Thank you.

      I had the same issue with the "Connecting Components" message going on for hours and hours. On a whim, I logged out of my Dropbox account on my iMac, then logged back in and things are working again.
