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.
Thanks to a splendid article on wikihow, I completely removed all DropBox components.
I left the DropBox folder in its default location (CloudStorage) and did a fresh install.
It appears the problem has been resolved.

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.
