Big Sur has only been in Developer beta (not even a Public beta) for 4 days. It will take time before Dropbox has been updated to work with it correctly. Dropbox will be supported on the operating system once it's reached a Release status. Until then, it's not one of the operating systems supported by Dropbox.
