OK...update
In addition to Dropbox not syncing, i had also lost ability to copy/paste as well. So while trying to search a fix for that problem, it seemed to have fixed by Dropbox issue as well.
All I had to do was type "sudo update_dyld_shared_cache" through Terminal.
And restart.
Everything works fine now. Don't ask me how it happened.
Cheers.

Apr 12, 2020 - i am responding to this entire thread, especially Jane, Dropbox Support (thx for trying). I also suddenly have a dysfunctioning NON-functioning High Sierra Dropbox (v.94.4.384) and am unwilling to attempt Terminal or any other suggestions until DROPBOX SUPPORT posts one that simply works.
I don’t have any suspect apps like Dropboxer or Boxifier etc. I have only the freeware uncustomized version of the Malware app, set to take NO ACTION, and nothing in my MBP is set to update automatically.
PLEASE give us direct, specific instructions, because Dropbox is the only tool/app malfunctioning so of course we deem it a Dropbox Corp. responsibility.
TIA.

Hi xyz222; how are you today?
As our most recent stable buld (95.4.441) just got out, I'd suggest updating your desktop app's version to that first.
Let me know how it goes!
